1. Maximum talk time acheived after several recharge cycles.
2. The cordless handset is off the charger
but not in use.
Up to 8 days
Note:
L Battery power is consumed whenever
the cordless handset is off the charger,
even when the cordless handset is not in
use. The longer you leave the cordless
handset off the charger, the shorter you
can actually talk on the cordless
handset. Actual battery performance
depends on a combination of how often
the cordless handset is in use and how
often it is not in use.
L Once the battery is fully charged, you do
not have to charge it again until
“Recharge battery” is displayed and
“7” flashes. This will maximize the
battery life.

charged at all times, place the cordless
handset on the charger when the
cordless handset is not in use. The
battery cannot be overcharged.

The Voice Mail System allows you to
receive and deliver voice messages using
mailboxes. The unit accommodates one
general delivery mailbox and a maximum
of eight personal mailboxes which are
assigned to the registered cordless
handsets. The mailbox numbers are the
same as the cordless handset numbers.
The Voice Mail System works fully with the
Automated Attendant System, which
routes incoming calls to a specified
mailbox and allows a caller to leave a
message (page 66). If a caller does not
specify a mailbox, the call is routed to the
general delivery mailbox. With the
Answering System (page 71), all calls are
routed to the general delivery mailbox. You
can set either the Automated Attendant
System or the Answering System to any
line.
If you change the display language (page
24), all voice prompts are heard in the
selected language.
Note:
L The maximum number of personal
mailboxes you can use is equal to the
number of registered cordless handsets.
The base unit and cordless handset users
can use the Voice Mail System by
accessing their mailboxes. Each cordless
handset user can only access his/her own
mailbox. The general delivery mailbox is
managed by the base unit user (operator).
The cordless handset users can access
this mailbox. The following functions are
possible:
L listening to messages (pages 52 and
55);
L transferring a message to other
mailboxes (pages 54 and 64);
L delivering your own message to other
mailboxes (page 57).
Voice Mail System
You can also access the Voice Mail
System’s features remotely from a touch
tone phone (page 63).
Note:
L All messages (greetings, incoming, etc.)
and two way recordings, are stored in
digital memory. The total recording time is approximately 100 minutes.
The maximum recording time for each
call is three minutes. A maximum of 255
messages (including greeting
messages) can be recorded.
L The base unit user can monitor incoming
calls that are being recorded in the
general delivery mailbox (page 85).
L The base unit user can check the
remaining recording time and number of
messages which can still be recorded
(page 59).

Automated Attendant System
Automated Attendant System
How the Automated Attendant System works
The Automated Attendant System is a flexible communication tool that can enhance your
productivity by improving your call management. The Automated Attendant answers
incoming calls and then routes the callers to the base unit or the desired cordless handset.
The base unit plays the role of operator with the cordless handsets as the extensions. The
extension numbers are the same as the cordless handset numbers (page 25). Callers can
reach the desired mailbox using the Automated Attendant System to leave messages.
The Automated Attendant System can be assigned to any line (page 67).
If you change the display language (page 24), all voice prompts are heard in the selected
language.
Calling the Automated Attendant
When a caller calls a line to which the Automated Attendant System is assigned, the caller
will first hear a greeting message. You can record this message yourself or use the
pre-recorded message (page 67).
Call is received.

Caller presses the required
extension number ({1} to

Call Transfer Status (page
69): The extension (cordless
handset) answers.
If callers select neither extension nor operator, or call from rotary telephones, the greeting
message will be repeated three times, and then they will be transferred to the general
delivery mailbox where they can leave messages.
The Automated Attendant System can be
assigned to any line. You can record up to
five greeting messages of up to two
minutes each. The same messages can
be used for the Answering System
(page 71).
Note:
L Try to record brief messages to leave
more time for recording new messages.
