Record, play, and delete memos Memos are your own recorded messages used as reminders for yourself or others using the same answering system. You can record your own memos using a system handset.

Press or to scroll to Answering sys, and then press SELECT. 3. Press or to scroll to Record memo, and then press SELECT. 4. The system announces, "Record after the tone. Press 5 when you are done." After the tone, speak towards the microphone. 5. Press 5 to stop recording. The system announces, "Recorded." Using the built-in answering system and voicemail service You can use your answering system and voicemail service together by setting your answering system to answer before voicemail service answers as described below. To learn how to program your voicemail settings, contact your telephone service provider. If you are on a call, or if the answering system is busy recording a message and you receive another call, the second caller can leave a voicemail message. Set your answering system to answer calls at least two rings earlier than your voicemail service is set to answer. For example, if your voicemail service answers after six rings, set your answering system to answer after four rings. Some voicemail service providers may program the delay before answering calls in seconds instead of rings. In this case, allow six seconds per ring when determining the appropriate setting. NOTES • The system will announce "Memory is full" if you record a memo when the memory is full. • Memos shorter than two seconds are not recorded. 46
