When a caller calls
The caller can choose one of two ways to leave a message:
• Wait until the greeting finishes, then start recording a message. (By default, the
message goes into box 1).
• Select a box by pressing (*)(1) (Mailbox 1), (*)(2) (Mailbox 2), or (*)(3)
(Mailbox 3), while the greeting is being played back.
The greeting message stops and the caller hears a voice guidance. Start recording.
Notes
• If 4 minutes have passed while recording the incoming message, the line will
be disconnected automatically.
• If the message is shorter than 2 seconds, the message will not be recorded.
To turn off the answering function
Press (ANSWER ON/OFF) on the base phone.
The (ANSWER ON/OFF) button goes off.
Note
The answering function is preset to on.
Tip
The answering machine will automatically answer a call after 10 rings, even if
the answering function is off and announces “Please enter your security code”
to prompt the caller to turn on the answering function.
When the memory is full
The total recording time of this answering machine is approximately 18
minutes (including the greeting, messages, and memo).
When the remaining recording time becomes less than 30 seconds. “F”
flashes on the display and the answering machine goes into the
memory full status. In this status, the answering machine will not
answer a call until after 10 rings even if the answering function is on.
To avoid this, erase unnecessary messages (see page 32). You can also
erase messages from an outside phone (see page 36).
