The outgoing announcement is not clear. The answering system does not record messages. The messages on the answering system are very difficult to hear. The handset does not have a speakerphone. When recording, playing or deleting your own announcement, the instructions are announced through the handset receiver. Make sure you place the handset receiver close to your ear. When recording the announcement, make sure you speak in a normal tone of voice towards the microphone of the handset. Make sure there is no background noise when recording. Make sure the answering system is on. When the answering system is on, the ANS ON icon with the corresponding line number(s) should show on the handset, and the ON/OFF LINE 1 and/or ON/OFF LINE 1 light(s) on the telephone base should be on. When the answering machine memory is full, it does not record new messages until some old messages are deleted.

To determine how many rings activate your voicemail service, contact your telephone service provider. Press p/VOLUME on the handset or p/VOL on the telephone base to increase the listening volume. 57
