About Mailboxes
This answering system offers three voice
mailboxes, providing a convenient way to
share an answering system with other
members of your household or business.
Callers using a touch tone phone can
select the mailbox in which their
messages will be recorded by pressing 1,2
or 3 after the s,vstem answers the call.
Those not using a touch tone phone, or
those who do not press 1,2 or 3,can still
leave a message, which is automatically
recorded in Mailbox l.

three minutes long) that callers will hear
when the system answers a call. Callers
can skip the announcement by pressing @.
You can record up to four different
announcements - H, b, f , andHB - so
that you can easily switch between
