Answering system Answering system mode Unless you change it, the answering system will be on and ready to record message. You can turn the answering system off, but if you do so, the answering system will not answer calls and record incoming messages. NOTE: If the answering system is off and there is an incoming call, the system will answer after 10 rings and announce to the caller, "Please enter remote access code." For more information about remote access, see pages 67-68. Answering system power for each line: • Press ON/OFF LINE 1 or ON/OFF LINE 2 to turn off your answering system. The screen will display MAILBOX 1 IS OFF or MAILBOX 2 IS OFF respectively. The ON/OFF LINE 1 or ON/OFF LINE 2 light will be off. • Press ON/OFF LINE 1 or ON/OFF LINE 2 to turn on your answering system. The screen will display MAILBOX 1 IS ON or MAILBOX 2 IS ON respectively. The ON/OFF LINE 1 or ON/OFF LINE 2 light will be on. Answering mode settings You can set the answering system to answer the incoming call only or answer the incoming call and record the message. In the ANSWER + RECORD mode, the caller will be asked to leave a message and the prerecorded announcement, "Hello. Please leave a message after the tone" will be used if you have not recorded your own announcement. In the ANSWER ONLY mode, the caller will hear the announcement only and will not be allowed to leave a message. The pre-recorded announcement, "We're sorry. Messages to this number cannot be accepted" will be used if you have not recorded your own announcement. This mode is useful if you want to notify the caller that you will be away for an extended period and request that they call back later. If you want to record your own announcement for a particular answering mode, make sure the answering mode is active and then follow the steps in Outgoing announcements on page 56. 53
