Message playback
If you have new messages,  /PLAY/STOP on the telephone base flashes 
and only the new messages are played (oldest first). If there are no new 
messages, the system plays back all the messages (oldest first).
When playback begins, the total number of messages is announced. Before 
each message, you hear the day and time of the recording. If the date and 
time are not set, you hear, “Time and date not set,” before playback. After 
the last message, you hear, “End of messages.” If the recording time is less 
than three minutes, you hear, “Less than three minutes to record,” (see 
Message capacity on page 60).
