Answering System Operation

Answerer On/Off

There are two ways to set the answerer on/off. One is via the handset menu as

described in the section “Answerer”, while the other one is this shortcut:

• Press the ANSWERER ON/OFF button on the base to turn the answering system on

or off.

Mailbox Indicator

There are indicator lights under each mailbox buttons (PLAY STOP 1/ PLAY STOP 2/

PLAY STOP 3), which inform you of whether the messages for each individual mailbox

are new or old.

• Mailbox button/indicator is on -- there are stored messages.

• Mailbox button/indicator is off -- no messages in that mailbox.

• Mailbox button/indicator is ﬂashing – there are new messages.

Leaving a Message

1. After the answerer answers the incoming call and plays the outgoing

announcement, the caller can enter the mailbox number (1, 2 or 3) while the

announcement is playing or within the 2 seconds after the end of announcement

and then leave a message in that speciﬁc mailbox.

2. If there is no entry of mailbox number during that period, then your message will

be left in the default mailbox 1.

NOTE: The maximum recording time for each message is 3 minutes

and the total recording time of this unit is 20 minutes.

Screening Calls from the Base

1. When the answering system answers the call, listen while the caller leaves a

message (to determine who is calling).

2. To speak to the caller, pick up the handset, and press the TALK or SPKR button.

The answering system automatically stops recording when you activate the handset

or pick up an extension phone.

TIP: Make sure the volume on the base is set loud enough to hear

your incoming calls.
