Answering System Operation
The system stops recording and resets to
answer the next call when:
• The caller hangs up.
• The maximum message length is
reached.
• The system detects a busy signal or
more than 7 seconds of silence.
• You pick up the handset or any phone
on the same phone line.
Note: When the message memory is full, the
caller will hear the prerecorded
announcement-only message ("Hello, no
one is available to take your call. Please call
again.") and the system cannot record
additional messages until you delete some of
the old messages (see “Deleting Messages”
on Page 21).
RECORDING A MEMO
A memo is a message you can record for
yourself or others. The system stores memos
as incoming messages (see “Playing
Messages”).
Hold down MEMO/REC until the system

message after the tone.” When the tone
sounds, speak your message.
When you finish the memo, press MEMO/REC
or PLAY/STOP .

• The maximum length for recording a
memo is ten minutes.
• The system cannot record a memo less
than two seconds long.

full,
<Bý <Bý <Bý <Bý
appears and the system
announces “No remaining time” when
you try to operate it.
