Answering system
Setting your system to automatically answer calls
An example of a 4-line answering system setup
If you have four phone lines and many extensions, you can set up to the 
auto attendant to answer up to three simultaneous calls. You can set up the 
fourth line to ring as a private direct line to a single extension by excluding 
all others in the Ring group (page 18).
Line 1 : Auto attendant (2 rings)
Line 2:  Auto attendant (2 rings)
Line 3:  Auto attendant (2 rings)
Line 4:  General mailbox (4 rings, all but one extension excluded)
Select the answer mode
When the telephone is idle, press ANSWER ON for the 
desired line. 
Press   or   to scroll to the desired answer mode 
(Ans->Gen MB only, Ans->Auto att, or No answer). 
Press MENU/ENTER to select the mode. To exit without 
making changes, press EXIT. 
Answering system capacity
You can record up to five new announcements to have different 
announcements for each line. Each announcement can be up to two minutes. 
Auto attendant and general mailbox announcements both require system 
memory to record, so we suggest recording brief announcements in order to 
leave more space for messages.
The maximum recording time of all handsets and base is 180 minutes. 
The actual recording time depends on individual message characteristics. 
Individual messages can be up to three minutes. Messages remain available 
for review until you delete them. 
If the system memory is full, the screen displays Message full, and you 
cannot record new messages until old ones have been deleted. Check 
remaining system space frequently to keep maintain availability of space for 
incoming messages.
NOTE: You cannot record an announcement when the telephone system is out of space. 
You will hear a two-beep alert tone and voice prompt “Memory is full.” Please refer to  
Remaining space on page 32.
