Using your answering machine (Telstra V580a only)

You can operate your Telstra V580a answering machine from:
• the base
• remotely from any external Touchtone™ telephone.
The default setting for the answering machine is On. Until you change your outgoing message, your callers will be greeted with the pre-recorded message, "Hello, please
leave a message after the tone".
