Answering system mode
Unless you change it, the answering system will
be on and ready to record message. You can turn
the answering system off, but if you do so, the
answering system will not answer calls and record
incoming messages.
Answering system power for each line:
• Press ON/OFF LINE 1 or ON/OFF LINE 2
to turn off your answering system. The screen
will display MAILBOX 1 IS OFF or MAILBOX 2
IS OFF respectively. The ON/OFF LINE 1 or
ON/OFF LINE 2 light will be off.
Press ON/OFF LINE 1 or ON/OFF LINE 2
to turn on your answering system. The screen
will display MAILBOX 1 IS ON or MAILBOX 2
IS ON respectively. The ON/OFF LINE 1 or
ON/OFF LINE 2 light will be on.
Answering mode settings
You can set the answering system to answer the
incoming call only or answer the incoming call
and record the message.
In the ANSWER + RECORD mode, the caller
will be asked to leave a message and the pre-
recorded announcement, “Hello. Please leave a
message after the tone” will be used if you have
not recorded your own announcement.
In the ANSWER ONLY mode, the caller will
hear the announcement only and will not be
allowed to leave a message. The pre-recorded
announcement, “We're sorry. Messages to this
number cannot be accepted” will be used if you
have not recorded your own announcement. This
mode is useful if you want to notify the caller
that you will be away for an extended period and
request that they call back later.
If you want to record your own announcement
for a particular answering mode, make sure the
answering mode is active and then follow the
steps in Outgoing announcements on page 56.

NOTE: If the answering
system is off and there
is an incoming call, the
system will answer after
10 rings and announce
to the caller, “Please
enter remote access
code.” For more
information about
remote access, see
pages 67-68.
