About Mailboxes This answering system has two voice mailboxes. Callers using a touch tone phone can select the mailbox in which their messages will be recorded by pressing 1 or 2 after the system answers the call. All other messages will be recorded in Mailbox 1. Announcement Play/Silent You can reset the system so you won't hear the announcement when it answers a call.

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 2 3 Set the system to answer calls, and set the message playback volume control so you can hear the caller's message. If you decide to take the call, press P on the handset or K on the base. 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. Record a Memo You can record a memo up to three minutes long to store as an incoming message. 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. [. . . ] Conversation should be clear after this. If messages are incomplete: · · · If a caller leaves a very long message, part of it may be lost when the system disconnects the call after three minutes. If the caller pauses for more than seven seconds, the system stops recording and disconnects the call. If the system's memory becomes full during a message, the system stops recording and disconnects the call. If you have difficulty hearing messages: Check the volume setting. If the system does not answer after the correct number of rings: · · · · Make sure that the two-digit message window in the base is on. If Toll Saver is on, the number of rings changes to two when you have new messages waiting. [. . . ]
