SETTING THE SYSTEM TO
ANSWER CALLS
To set the system to answer calls, press
ANSWER ON/OFF . If the system is set to
record a caller’s message (see “Setting the
Record Time” on Page 15), it plays the
outgoing message and shows the number of
recorded messages. If the system is set to
Announcement Only, it plays the outgoing
message, and
7777
appears.
To set the system to not answer calls, press
ANSWER ON/OFF again. The system
announces “Answer off” and the message
counter turns off.
When the system’s message memory is full,
<B <B <B <B
appears and the system announces “No
remaining time” when you try to operate it.
SCREENING CALLS
You can let the system answer calls for you
while you listen to the caller’s message
through the base’s speaker. If you decide to
answer the call, press
TALK to answer if the
handset is off the base, or if the handset is
on the base, lift it.
You can also pick up any phone on the same
line. The system stops recording and resets
to answer the next call.
Press VOLUME
8 8 8 8
or
9 9 9 9
to adjust the volume
level of call screening. If you do not want to
listen to calls, repeatedly press
VOLUME
9 9 9 9
until
&&&&
appears.
The system silences at the 0 volume setting
only while screening calls. You can hear
message playback or other announcements
even at the 0 level setting.
RECORDING INCOMING
MESSAGES
After the system answers a call, it plays the
outgoing message, beeps, then records the
caller’s message. Each incoming message
can be up to 1 or 4 minutes long, depending
on how you set the recording time (see
“Setting the Record Time” on Page 15). The
system’s maximum recording capacity is
about 16 minutes (or approximately 59
messages).
The system stops recording and resets to
answer the next call when:
• The caller hangs up.
• The maximum message length is
reached.
