About the answering system
Message capacity
The answering system can record up to 99 messages, depending on the length
of each message. Individual messages can be up to three minutes, and the
maximum recording time is approximately 22 minutes. The actual recording
time depends on individual message characteristics. Messages remain available
for replay until you delete them.
When there are new messages (including memos) on the answering system,
the number of messages stored ashes in the message counter.
If the answering system has less than three minutes of recording time le, it
announces, “Less than three minutes to record,” before message playback at the
handset or the telephone base. Rec mem low displays on the handset screen
in idle mode. When you turn on the answering system at the telephone base, it
announces, “Calls will be answered. Less than three minutes to record.”
If the memory is full, the answering system announces, “Memory is full,” before
message playback. The handset screen displays Rec mem full in idle mode
and the number of messages and F ash alternately in the message counter
at the telephone base. Once the memory is full, you cannot turn the answering
system back on if it has been turned o, nor can you record new messages
until old ones have been deleted. Memory full displays if you want to turn on
the answering system on the handset but there is no memory.
