About the answering system

Message capacity

The answering system can record up to 99 messages, depending on the
length of each message. Individual messages can be up to three minutes,
and the maximum recording time is approximately 22 minutes. The actual
recording time depends on individual message characteristics. Messages
remain available for replay until you delete them.
When there are messages (including memos) on the
answering system, the total number of messages stored
shows in the message counter.
If the answering system has less than three minutes of
recording time left, it announces, "Less than three minutes to record," before
message playback at the handset or the telephone base. Rec mem low
displays on the device screen in idle mode. When you turn on the answering
system at the telephone base, it announces, "Calls will be answered. Less
than three minutes to record."
If the memory is full, the answering system announces, "Memory is full,"
before message playback. The device screen displays Rec mem full in idle
mode. Once the memory is full, you cannot turn the answering system back
on if it has been turned off, nor can you record new messages until old
ones have been deleted. Memory full displays if you want to turn on the
answering system on the handset but there is no memory.

Voice prompts

The system provides voice prompts to guide you through the setup
procedures at the telephone base, message playback, remote access and
