You can operate the answer machine that is integrated in the base station via the handset 

or via remote operation (other phone/mobile phone). You can record your own announce-

ment message or advisory message via the handset.

You can use your phone's Web configurator to set which of your phone numbers your 

answer machine is to accept as soon as it is switched on (page 145). You can assign your 

phone any amount of phone numbers as receive numbers (VoIP, fixed line network, 

Gigaset.net). 
All calls accepted by the answer machine are stored in sequence in the answer machine 

independently of the receive number and displayed in the same answer machine list. 
Any registered handset to which at least one receive number from the answer machine has 

been assigned as a send or receive number can access the answer machine list (page 144). 
After a new phone number is configured (a new VoIP account), it is first assigned to the 

answer machine as a receive number.

If a caller is connected to the answer machine and a second call for the answer machine 

comes in on a different line (fixed line network or VoIP), the second caller hears the ringing 

tone. The answer machine will answer the second call if:

u

the connection with the first caller has ended and 

u

the set time period for the answer machine to answer a call (page 79) has expired.

You can use the answer machine in two different modes. 

u

In 

 mode, the caller hears the announcement and can then leave a mes-

sage. 

u

In 

mode, the caller hears your announcement but cannot leave a mes-

sage.

The handset loudspeaker activates automatically if you receive an acoustic prompt or 

message while operating. You can switch it off with the handsfree key

When the answer machine is activated, the remaining memory time is announced. If the 

time has not yet been set (page 13), an appropriate announcement is made. The 

× icon 

appears in the display.
The answer machine accepts calls for all the receive numbers assigned to it (page 145).
