The Message Center feature will store up to 
99 incoming messages. Messages are stored 
in the order in which they are received.
Voice messages can be up to 3 minutes in 
length, and can also be picked up remotely 
(see Using your Remote Access Code 
on page 59). The number of messages you 
can store will depend on how much memory 
is being used by other features (for example, 
delayed and stored faxes).
In the event of a power failure your machine 
will retain messages that are in the memory 
for approximately 24 hours.
