Answering System Features

Answering system
The unit contains an answering system which can answer and record calls for you when you are unavailable to answer the phone. For details about memory capacity, see page 49. Important: L Only 1 person can access the answering system (listen to messages, record a greeting message, etc.) at a time. L When callers leave messages, the unit records the day and time of each message. Make sure the date and time have been set (page 16). L You can select the caller�s recording time (page 53).

Recording your greeting message
You can record your own greeting message (max. 2 minutes) that will be played when the answering system answers a call. If you do not record a greeting message, a pre-recorded greeting message will be used. Sample greeting message: �This is (your name). We are unable to answer the phone right now. Please leave a message after the beep. Thank you.�
