Answering System Operation Answering System Operation This system automatically saves your messages until you delete them, and can store approximately 15 minutes of messages, memos and announcements (up to a maximum of 99 messages). A message or memo can be up to 4 minutes long. If the system has less than 30 seconds of recording time left, it automatically turns off. The system will still answer after 10 rings, announce "Memory full, please enter your security code" and wait for the caller to enter the code to access remote functions. (See Remote Access beginning on page 31 for details.) When you have new messages or memos, the PLAY/STOP light for each mailbox with new messages will flash. Listen to Messages A Mailbox key will flash if you have new messages. If all messages in that Mailbox are old, the key will glow steadily. Press the PLAY/STOP button for the mailbox you want to review. The system announces the mailbox number, the number of new messages and the number of old messages. The system then plays only new messages in the Mailbox. After all new messages are played, press the PLAY/STOP button again to hear all (old) messages. Before each message or memo plays, the system announces the day and time it was received. While a message plays, the message window displays the number of that message. Press REPEAT/SLOW during playback to hear a message again. If you press REPEAT/SLOW twice in the first two seconds of a message, the system will backup to replay the previous message. Press SKIP/QUICK during playback to skip to the next message. Press and hold SKIP/QUICK or REPEAT/ SLOW during message playback to speed up or slow down playback of a message. After playing the last message in a mailbox, the system announces "End of messages." If the system has less than five minutes of recording time left, it announces the remaining time. 27
