Selecting the answering mode
You can set the answering machine to record
incoming messages (normal mode), or just
make an announcement without recording
messages (announcement only mode).
You can record your own greeting, or use the
factory pre-recorded greetings.
In the normal mode, you also have the option
of having a beep to tell you if you have
received any new incoming messages.

Note
The same greeting is used regardless of the answering mode. Therefore, if you
decide to change the mode, make sure that you record a new greeting to match
the answering mode.
When the memory is full
The recording area of this phone’s memory is about 20 minutes
(including the greeting, messages, and memo). If the remaining
recording area becomes less than one minute, “F” flashes on the
display, and the phone automatically switches to announcement only
mode, which does not record messages, and the greeting will be
switched to the pre-recorded greeting.
If you wish to record more messages, erase the existing messages (see
page 34). You can also erase the messages from an outside phone (see
page 38).
