example, to play messages:

When the memory is full, the system answers after 10 rings, beeps, and
waits for the caller to enter the 3-digit security code. If a security code is not
entered within 10 seconds after the unit beeps, the phone hangs up.
You need to erase some of the messages so the system can record new
messages.
NOTE:
The unit also answers after the 10th ring if it is turned off. To access
the answering system, enter your 3-digit security code after you hear the beep.
