Answering system for
landline
The answering system can answer and
record calls for you when you are
unavailable to answer the phone.
You can also set the unit to play a
greeting message but not to record
caller messages by selecting
“Greeting only” as the recording
time setting (page 53).
Important:
R Only 1 person can access the
answering system (listen to
messages, record a greeting
message, etc.) at a time.
R When callers leave messages, the
unit records the day and time of each
message. Make sure the date and
time have been set correctly
(page 15).
R When the cellular line only mode is
set (page 18), the answering system
cannot be used and any messages
are not received.
R The unit’s answering system will not
answer incoming calls on your
FaxAbility number. (for New Zealand)
Memory capacity (including
your greeting message)
The total recording capacity is about 18
minutes. A maximum of 64 messages
can be recorded.
Note:
R When message memory becomes full:
– “Messages full” is shown on
the handset display.
– The ANSWER ON/OFF indicator
on the base unit flashes rapidly if
the answering system is turned on.
– The message counter on the base
unit flashes if the answering system
is turned on.
– If you use the pre-recorded greeting
message, the unit automatically
switches to another pre-recorded
greeting message asking callers to
call again later.
– If you recorded your own greeting
message, the same message is still
announced to callers even though
their messages are not recorded.
