Each of the devices has three answering
machines (AM1, AM2, AM3), which can be
activated and used independently of each
other.
Once the base has been set up, AM1 is acti-
vated and all base connections are assigned
to it as receive connections. AM2 and AM3
are available once you have assigned at least
one receive connection to them

( page 27).
Each answering machine only receives calls
that are directed to its receive connections.
Each answering machine can only be oper-
ated via the end devices (base/handsets) to
which at least one of the machine's receive
connections is assigned.
