Use the answering system menu of a system handset to turn on or off the
answering system, record your announcement, activate the call screening,
change the number of rings, set the remote access code and activate the
message alert tone.
Answering on/off
Unless you change it, the answering system is on and ready to record
messages. If the answering system is on, the ANS ON icon displays on the
handset screen and the ANSWER ON/OFF light on the telephone base is
on. You can turn the answering system off, but if you do so, the answering
system does not answer calls and record incoming messages.
Using the handset:
Press MENU/SELECT when in idle mode to enter the main menu.
Press DIR or CID to scroll to >ANSWERING SYS, then
press MENU/SELECT.
Press DIR or CID to scroll to >ANSWER ON/OFF, then
press MENU/SELECT.
Press DIR or CID to select between ON and OFF, then
press MENU/SELECT to confirm the setting. A confirmation tone sounds.
Using the telephone base:
Press ANSWER 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.
NOTES:
If the answering system is off and there is an incoming call, the system answers after 10 rings
and announces to the caller, “Please enter your remote access code.” For more information
about remote access, see Remote access on page 51.
You can turn the answering system on or off from either the handset or the telephone base,
but you can only use the handset to change the other answering system settings.
You cannot turn the answering system on or off while a handset is on a call or the telephone
base is playing messages.
During an incoming call, press ANSWER ON/OFF if you wish to immediately send the call to
the answering system.
