Automatic Answering Operation
The Answering System allows the unit to answer calls with a greeting message.
Callers can then leave a message. When turning the Answering System on, you
can select the lines it will answer calls from.
Setting the Unit to Answer Calls
• The number of caller messages and memo messages will be displayed on the
base unit (p. 67). If the Answering System is turned on for only one of the 2 lines,
the display shows the number of messages recorded for that line (not both lines)
plus the number of memo messages. The number of messages continues to be
displayed if the Answering System is turned off.
• The unit will announce the remaining recording time if it is less than 10 minutes.
• When no recording time is available, you will need to erase any unnecessary
messages before new messages can be recorded (p. 71). The unit can indicate
that memory is full in the following ways:
— “
” will flash on the base unit and the ANSWER ON indicator will flash rapidly.
— The unit will announce “Memory full” when you press [ANSWER ON],
[GREETING REC] , or [MEMO] , and after playing back messages or recording
a message.
• You can also turn on the Answering System remotely from the handset (p. 70) or an
outside phone (p. 77).
• If you subscribe to Caller ID (p. 40), Caller ID information automatically adjusts the
date and time when a call is received, provided you have already set the date and
time manually (p. 19).
• The total recording time of all messages (greeting, incoming and memo) is about
60 minutes (about 30 minutes in “Enhanced recording” mode, p. 31). If messages
are recorded in noisy rooms, the time may be shortened by up to 3 minutes.
• To select the caller’s recording time, see page 29.
• A maximum of 99 messages (including the greeting and memo messages) can
be recorded.
