Operating the base station answer machine

You can operate the answer machine that is integrated in the base station via the handset

or via remote operation (other phone/mobile phone). You can record your own announce-

ment message or advisory message via the handset.

Receive numbers

You can use your phone's Web configurator to set which of your phone numbers your

answer machine is to accept as soon as it is switched on (page 145). You can assign your

phone any amount of phone numbers as receive numbers (VoIP, fixed line network,

Gigaset.net).
All calls accepted by the answer machine are stored in sequence in the answer machine

independently of the receive number and displayed in the same answer machine list.
Any registered handset to which at least one receive number from the answer machine has

been assigned as a send or receive number can access the answer machine list (page 144).
After a new phone number is configured (a new VoIP account), it is first assigned to the

answer machine as a receive number.

Parallel calls

If a caller is connected to the answer machine and a second call for the answer machine

comes in on a different line (fixed line network or VoIP), the second caller hears the ringing

tone. The answer machine will answer the second call if:

u

the connection with the first caller has ended and

u

the set time period for the answer machine to answer a call (page 79) has expired.

Announce only/answer and record mode

You can use the answer machine in two different modes.

u

In

Ans. & Record

mode, the caller hears the announcement and can then leave a mes-

sage.

u

In

Announce Only

mode, the caller hears your announcement but cannot leave a mes-

sage.

Operation via the handset

The handset loudspeaker activates automatically if you receive an acoustic prompt or

message while operating. You can switch it off with the handsfree key
