System Answering Machine 9
One or more answering machines can serve the entire system (see Figure 9-3). The answering
machine can cover all the lines in the system or as many lines as you assign to it. You can install
the answering machine on an extension by itself or combine it with a telephone on the same
extension (see “Combination Extensions” on page 9-3).

Retrieving Messages 9
Do one of the following to retrieve messages:
■ Go to the machine to manually play back messages.
■ From any system extension, make an intercom call to the answering machine extension.
When the machine answers, dial its message retrieval code.
■ From outside the system, call in on any line assigned to the machine. When the machine
answers, dial its message retrieval code. When you call from the outside, you can retrieve
messages only from the first machine that answers.
