STEP 3 : Set the switches
After how many rings do you want the
answering machine to answer?
There are three settings for the Selector switch:
'2': the machine will answer after 2 rings; or
'4': the machine will answer after 4 rings; or
TOLL (toll saver). If you're away and ringing in for your messages, toll
saver can save you the cost of a call. It'll answer after 2 rings if you have
any new messages, or after 6 rings if you don't. So if it rings more than twice,
you can hang up, knowing you have no messages.
You can set the ringer switch to a Low or High noise level.

STEP 4 : Fit a leak resistant PP3
(or equivalent) alkaline battery.
Why? Because if you have a power cut (or the mains supply is disconnected
or switched off), when power is restored or switched on again: -
you won't have to reset the clock
you won't lose your messages; and
you won't lose any outgoing message you recorded yourself. (The
machine comes with standard outgoing messages but you can record your
own instead).
The machine however will not answer calls during a power cut.
The battery will come into use only when the power is cut off and will support
the memories for several hours. The battery will eventually run down if power
is not restored. (NB If you plan to switch the power to the machine off for lengthy
periods, disconnect the machine from the telephone socket and remove the
battery. You'll have to set the clock and record any personal outgoing
messages after re-fitting the battery and switching the machine on again).
1 Unlatch the battery cover on the underside of the base. (Make sure the
base unit is not connected to the telephone socket).
2 Fit the PP3 battery; the connector will only fit the correct way round.
3 Refit the battery cover. Make sure it's latched back into place. The
Message Display will flash '00'.
If the battery is or becomes low, the Message Display will alternate
between '00' and 'Lo' and the Power light flashes. Unplug the
machine from the telephone socket and replace the battery as above.
Dispose of the old battery carefully. Never burn them or let children play
with them.
