Unless you change it, the answering system is on and ready to record
messages. You can turn the answering system off, but if you do so, the
answering system does not answer calls and record incoming messages.
To turn the answering system on or off from a cordless handset:
1. When the handset is in idle mode, press MENU/SELECT to
enter the main menu.
2. Press MENU/SELECT again.
3. Press qCID or DIRp to scroll to >ANS SYS SETUP, then
press MENU/SELECT.
4. Press MENU/SELECT again to select >ANSWER ON/OFF.
5. Press qCID or DIRp to select between ON and OFF, then
press MENU/SELECT to confirm the setting and you hear a
confirmation tone.
If the answering system is on, the handset screen shows the
ANS ON icon.
NOTE: 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 codes, see page 61.
