Override Ringing - Sharp UX-A760 Operation Manual

Override Ringing

This function allows selected callers
using a touch-tone telephone to
override the answering system's
outgoing message and cause the
machine to make a special ringing
sound, alerting you that they are calling.
This is useful when you are near the
machine but only want to talk with
certain callers, taking all other calls on
the answering machine.
Programming the override code
To override the answering system, your
callers must enter a 3-digit override
code from their telephone. This code
has been set to "009" at the factory. If
you wish to change the code, follow the
steps below.
Important! Make sure the override
code is different from the remote code
(page 36).
