MESSAGE PLAYBACK  
The MESSAGES/ANSWER ON indicator light lets you know when som ebody has  
left a m essage. When you have new m essages the light blinks. If you have old  
m essages that have not been erased, the light stays on. To hear m essages,  
press and release the PLAY•STOP button. Incom ing m essages are lim ited to 3  
m inutes each. Press and hold PLAY•STOP for 2 seconds to hear only new  
m essages. (If no new m essages, old m essages will play).  
While a m essage is playing, you can do the following:  
Press PLAY•STOP to stop m essage playback.  
Press and release REVIEW to restart the current m essage; continue to press  
and release REVIEW to go to previous m essages.

TOTAL MESSAGE ERASE  
You can erase all the m essages from m em ory by pressing and holding the  
ERASE button when the unit is not playing m essages (the unit beeps to confirm  
the m essages are erased). Note that total m essage erase cannot be com pleted if  
there are any unplayed m essages.  
NOTE: If you hear several high-pitched beeps, your answerer has not erased the  
messages because some of them or all of them have not been played.  
You can restore m essages erased this way by pressing the PLAY•STOP button—  
but only if you havent activated any other answerer functions or received new  
m essages after erasing the m essages.  
LEAVING A MEMO  
Leaving a m em o is just like recording an outgoing announcem ent, except you  
use the MEMO button instead of the ANNOUNCEMENT button.  
1. Press and hold MEMO.  
2. When you hear a beep, continue holding MEMO and leave your m essage.  
3. Release MEMO when you finish your m essage.  
The m em o is included in the m essage count represented by the num ber of  
tim es the MESSAGES/ANSWER ON indicator light flashes.  
CALL SCREENING/ AUTO DISCONNECT  
Because the answerer autom atically stops recording when any extension phone  
is picked up (Auto Disconnect feature), you can screen incom ing calls. Listen as  
the caller leaves a m essage and pick up the handset (or any extension phone) if  
you want to talk to that caller.  
MEMORY FULL  
When the m em ory is full, you m ust erase old m essages so that there is room in  
the m em ory for new m essages.  
If the m em ory is full, the unit answers on the 10th ring and the MESSAGES/  
ANSWER ON light flashes rapidly. When using the rem ote access feature, you  
can enter your security code and then access your m essages.  
NOTE: The unit answers on the 10th ring when it is turned off or the memory is  
full. To access the answerer, enter the 3-digit security code after the beep. If  
memory is full, play messages and erase some of them to restore memory. If the  
answerer is off, press 6 to turn it on.

The security code is located on the underside of your telephone.  
1. Dial the phone num ber for the answering m achine.

m essages, the unit answers on the 5th ring. If there are saved m essages or new  
m essages, the unit answers on the 2nd ring. If you call from a rem ote location  
and you hear 3 rings, you can hang up knowing you have no new m essages and  
avoid the toll charges.
