Answering Calls
NOTE: See descriptions of Announcements A, B, and AO on page 11.
• If you select Announcement A or B, callers can press
1 or 2 during
the announcement to select a mailbox, or they can wait for the beep
to leave a message in Mailbox 1. If the message is longer than three
minutes, or if the caller is silent for more than seven seconds, or if the
system runs out of memory, the system beeps once and hangs up.
• If you select Announcement AO, the system plays to the end of the
announcement, then hangs up.
• If the system is off and the phone rings, the call will be answered after
10 rings and the caller will hear “The machine is off.” The system then
hangs up after 15 seconds if it does not receive a remote command.
• If the system is on and the memory is full, the call will be answered
after 10 rings, and the caller will hear “Memory is full.”
• To turn the system on or off remotely, see page 36 in ANSWERING
SYSTEM OPERATION—From Cordless Handset or Touch Tone Phone.
Call Screening/Intercept
1 Set the system to answer calls, and set the message playback
volume control so you can hear the caller’s message.
2 If you decide to take the call, press
P on the handset or
K on the base.
3 If you pick up an extension phone during the announcement and the
announcement does not stop right away, press and release the
telephone switchhook or press
X or x on the base.
Announcement Bypass
To bypass your announcement, callers using a touch tone phone can press
#, then 1 or 2 to select a mailbox when they hear your announcement
begin. The system stops playing your announcement and beeps so the
caller can immediately begin recording a message.

You can record a memo up to three minutes long to store as an incoming message.
1 Press and release
# on base. Both MBOX lights blink rapidly.
2 Press a
b button to select a mailbox for the memo. After
the beep, speak toward the microphone. The Message Window
displays the length of your memo.
3 To stop recording, press a
b button, or press 5.
