Operating the base's
answering machine
You can operate the answering machine that
is integrated into the base using the keys on
¢
the base
(
page
3), via a registered hand-
set or by remote operation (other phone/
mobile). You can only record own announce-
ment message or advisory message via the
base or a handset.
Please note
If an answering machine is to accept calls
via the GSM connection on your mobile,
which itself is connected to the tele-
phone via Bluetooth, you must select the
GSM connection as the receive connec-
tion. The name of the mobile is displayed
for the GSM connection in the list of
known devices.
The times set for ring delay on the
mobile mailbox and answering machine
determine which of these will accept
calls.
Parallel calls
If a caller is connected to the answering
machine and a second call comes in for the
answering machine, the second caller will
hear the dialling tone. The call is signalled to
the devices (base, handsets).
If the second call is not accepted, the
answering machine will accept this call if:
u
The connection with the first caller has
ended and
u
The set time period for the answering
machine to answer a call
has expired.
Answering machine mode
You can use two different modes for the
answering machine.
u
In Answer & Record mode, the caller
hears the announcement and can then
leave a message.

message.

Operating via the base

The speaker activates automatically if you
receive an acoustic prompt or message
while operating. You can deactivate hands-
free mode by picking up the receiver.
Operation via the menu on the base is the
same as operation via a registered Gigaset
SL78H, SL400H or S79H handset.
Activating/deactivating and
setting answering machine mode
You can choose between Answer & Record,
Answer only and Alternating. By using the

outside this period the caller will only hear
the announcement.
