Answering Calls

When you've selected announcement A, ,
or C, and the system answers a call, the
caller hears the announcement you
recorded, followed by a beep. During the
announcement, callers can press 1, 2, or 3
to select a mailbox, or they can wait for
the beep to leave a message in Mailbox 1.
After the beep, the system begins
recording your caller's message. A caller
can leave a message up to three minutes
long. If the message is longer than three
minutes, or if the caller is silent for more
than seven seconds, or if the system runs
out of memory, the system beeps once and
hangs up.
If you've selected announcement AO,
callers hear your announcement but
cannot record a message.

Call Screening/Intercept

During Feature Setup, you can set the
system so you can hear the callers' messages
as they are recorded.
If you decide to speak with the caller, lift
the handset of any telephone on the same
line as the answering system. The system
stops recording and resets to answer calls.
If the system doesn't disconnect
immediately, press and release the
telephone switchhook.
Priority Call Code
If a caller enters the code you provide
(preset to 999) while your announcement
is playing, the system will alert you with
a special tone that a priority caller is on
the line. Answer the call with a telephone
connected on the same line as the
answering system.
If you do not answer, the caller can press
5, then # and leave a message.
