Note about mailboxes
You can only record an announcement for
your answering machine. If you want to
use several mailboxes you have to record
a message which tells the caller which
mailbox to select.
Example: "... Press 1 if you want to leave
a message for Anna or 2 for Michael."
The caller's message is recorded in
Mailbox 2 if he presses "2".
The message is automatically recorded in
Mailbox 1 if a caller enters a wrong mailbox
number or the selected mailbox is not set
up.
