About the answering system

Message capacity

The answering system can record up to 99 messages, depending on the
length of each message. Individual messages can be up to 3 minutes, and the
maximum recording time is approximately 14 minutes. The actual recording
time depends on individual message characteristics. Messages remain available
for replay until you delete them.
When there are new messages (including memos) on the answering system,
the number of messages stored flashes in the message counter.
If the answering system has less than 3 minutes of recording time left, it
announces, "Less than 3 minutes to record," before message playback at the
handset or the telephone base. Rec mem low displays on the handset screen
in idle mode. When you turn on the answering system at the telephone base, it
announces, "Calls will be answered. Less than 3 minutes to record."
If the memory is full, the answering system announces, "Memory is full," before
message playback. The handset screen displays Rec mem full in idle mode
and the number of messages and F flash alternately in the message counter at
the telephone base. Once the memory is full, you cannot turn the answering
system back on if it has been turned off, nor can you record new messages
until old ones have been deleted. Memory full displays if you want to turn on
the answering system on the handset but there is no memory.
