Message capacity
The answering system can record up to 99
messages, depending on how long each message is.
Individual messages can be up to 4 minutes long, but
total maximum recording time for all mailboxes is 17
minutes. Messages will remain available for replay until
you delete them.

Mailbox selection
The answering system has three voice mailboxes. In
your outgoing announcement, you can direct callers to
press 1, 2 or 3 to select a mailbox (i.e., “Press 1 to
leave a message for Mary. Press 2 to leave a mes-
sage for John.”
). If no mailbox is selected, messages are
recorded in Mailbox 1.

To add entries to phone directory

When any Caller ID screen is displayed, follow the
steps at left to enter it into your phone directory.
Both the caller’s name and telephone number will be
entered as they appear in the call log. At steps 3-4, you
can make any changes to the name or number by using
the

<

button to erase characters, or using the dial pad

to enter new ones (see page 17 for instructions).
When the number is stored, the screen returns to the
call log display. The entry copied to your phone direc-
tory remains in the call log until deleted.
