Using your Freestyle
1200 answering machine
You can operate your Freestyle 1200 answering
machine from the handset the base unit or from
another telephone.
Your Freestyle 1200 can digitally
record up to 14 minutes of
messages, with each incoming
message lasting a maximum of 3
minutes. Your Freestyle 1200 gives
you two message mailboxes so that
you can separate your incoming
messages. This is basically the
equivalent of three answer machines
in one unit, where callers are
prompted to select the relevant
mailbox in which to leave their
message.
Using the standard setting
Your Freestyle 1200 has a preset
outgoing message that callers will
hear. You can use this preset
message or record your own
message for a more personal
greeting; see page 20.
The pre-set message is “Hello, your
call cannot be taken at the moment
so please leave your message after the
tone.”
Using the message mailboxes
Your Freestyle 1200 has two message
mailboxes. For example, mailbox 1
could be for business messages and
mailbox 2 for personal messages.
Equally you could allocate one
mailbox to a colleague or someone
else in your family.
In your outgoing message you can
tell callers which mailbox they
should use. The caller simply
presses
1 or 2 on their phone’s
keypad after the tone. This selects
either mailbox 1 or 2.
