Telephone settings
To turn the answering system on or off using the telephone base:
Press ANS ON to turn the answering system
on or off. If the answering system is turned on,
it announces, “Calls will be answered.” If the
answering system is turned off, it announces,
“Calls will not be answered.”
NOTES:
You can turn the answering system on or off from either the handset or the telephone base,
but you must use the handset to change all other answering system settings.
During an incoming call, if the answering system is off, press ANS ON if you wish to
immediately send the call to the answering system. If the answering system is on, press
ANS ON if you do not want the answering system to answer the call.
If the answering system is off and there is an incoming call, the system answers after 10 rings
and announces to the caller, “Please enter your remote access code.” For more information,
see Remote access on page 58.
You cannot turn the answering system on or off while a handset is on a call or the telephone
base is playing messages.
