Turning on the answering machine
Press ( answer ) on the base unit.
The ANSWER lamp lights up, and you
will hear the answering greeting.
If the remaining recording time becomes less than 4 minutes and 30 seconds, the
remaining recording time is announced.
Tip
The answering machine will automatically answer a call after 10 rings even if the
answering function is off.
The answering function will remain on for all subsequent calls.
When a caller calls
The caller can choose one of the two ways to leave a message:
• Waits until the greeting finishes, then starts recording a message.
(By default, the message goes into box 1.)
• Selects a box by pressing (box 1), ®(D (box 2), or ®(3)
(box 3) while the caller hears the greeting.
The greeting message stops and the caller hears a beep, then
recording can start.
Notes
• If 4 minutes have passed while recording the incoming message, the line is
disconnected automatically.
• If the message is shorter than 2 seconds, the message is not recorded.
