Answering System is a sophisticated,
fully digital message center. All
messages are stored on a chip, so
there are no tape mechanisms to wear

to answer.

recording a message when you pick up
any phone on the same line.
Multiple Outgoing Message — Set the

Detection — The systems stops
recording after seven seconds of
silence or when the caller hangs up.
Remote Operation — Use a touch-tone
phone (or rotary phone and pocket tone
dialer) to operate the system while you
are away.
