Basic operation Answering system Answering system Answering system operation The answering system can record up to 99 messages or a total of 15 minutes. The answering system only answers calls on the HOME line. When there are new messages (including memos) on the answering system, the MESSAGE light on the telephone base will flash, and the telephone base display will indicate the number of new messages. On a handset, the message icon and the clock will flash alternately, and the display will indicate the number of new messages. Message announcements Before playing each message, the answering system announces the day and time that the message was received. The system will announce "Date and time not set" if the clock is not set. To manually set the time and day, see page 42. If you have new messages, the system will announce the number of new messages and play the earliest message first. If you only have old messages, the system will announce the number of old messages and play the earliest message first. If you have both new and old messages, the system will only announce and play the number of new messages. When the messages have finished playing, the screen will return to Messages or idle mode, depending on how the playback was initiated.
