Answer on/off
By default, the answering system is on and ready to record
messages. You can turn the answering system off, but if you do so,
the answering system does not answer calls and record incoming
messages.
To turn the answering system on or off:
Using a cordless handset:
1. When the handset is in idle mode, press MENU/
SELECT to enter the main menu.
2. Press
CID or DIR to scroll to Answering sys,
then press MENU/SELECT.
3. Press CID or DIR to scroll to Answer ON/OFF,
then press MENU/SELECT.
4. Press
CID or DIR to highlight On or Off, then
press MENU/SELECT to save the setting. You hear
a confirmation tone.
When the answering system is on, the handset
shows ANS ON.
Using the telephone base:
Press
/ANS ON/OFF to turn
the answering system on or
off. If the answering system
is turned on, it announces,
“Calls will be answered.” If the
answering system is turned off,
it announces, “Calls will not be
answered.”
NOTE: If the answering system is off and there is an incoming call, the system
answers after ten rings and announces, “Please enter your remote access
code.” For more information about remote access, see page 91.
