Preparing the answering machine (continued) When the memory is full The recording area of this phone's memory is about 20 minutes* (including the greeting, messages, and memo). If the remaining recording area becomes less than 30 seconds, the phone automatically switches to announcement only mode, which does not record messages, and the greeting will be switched to the pre-recorded greeting. Confirm the available time left for recording (page 70). * Available time for recording at "NORM (LONG PLAY)" sound quality. If you wish to record more messages, erase the existing messages (see page 71). You can also erase the messages from an outside phone (see page 75). Setting the audible message indicator You have the option of having a beep to tell you if you have received any new messages. The audible message indicator is preset to "ON". You can set the audible message indicator only with the cordless handset. Make sure the base phone* is not in use before you start the setting. * If the system includes additional cordless handsets, it is necessary to stop using them before you start the setting as well. 1 Press (PGM). 2 Turn Jog Dial to choose "ANSWERING", and then press Jog Dial. 3 Turn Jog Dial to choose "AUDIBLE INDIC.", and then press Jog Dial. 4 Turn Jog Dial to choose "ON" or "OFF", and then press Jog Dial. You hear a long confirmation beep. Note When "ERROR" appears on the display and five short error beeps are heard after Jog Dial is pressed in step 4, move the cordless handset closer to the base phone, make sure the base phone is not in use, and then start over the procedure. 66US Answering Machine Features
