Screening Your Calls
To screen your calls, set the system to answer calls and adjust the VOLUME control so you can hear a
caller's message. If you decide to take a call, lift the telephone handset of any telephone on the same line
and talk to the caller. The system stops recording and resets to answer calls.
NOTE: If the announcement does not stop right away, press and release the telephone switch hook or
press and release STOP.
Recording a Memo
A memo is recorded as an incoming message that can be played back at home or from a remote telephone.
1.
To record: Hold down MEMO/2WAY. When the system beeps, speak towards the front of the
system.
2.
To stop recording: Release MEMO/2WAY.
To play back the memo, follow the instructions under "Listening to Your Messages."
Recording a Telephone Conversation
NOTE: This unit does not sound warning beeps to let the other party know that the call is being
recorded. To ensure that you are in compliance with any federal or state regulations regarding
recording a telephone call, you should start the recording process and then inform your caller that
you are recording the call.
1.
Tap MEMO 2/WAY. The system fast forwards the tape to the end of your saved messages, beeps once
and begins to record.
2.
Press and release STOP to stop recording the conversation.
Many features of this system can be operated from a remote location by using any touch tone telephone.

Remote Access Code
To protect your privacy, features such as playing, saving, or clearing messages require that a Remote
Access code be entered before they can be operated from a remote telephone.
The Remote Access code is preset and it cannot be changed. The code for your system is printed on the
underlid label.
To use your system remotely:
1.
Dial your telephone number from a touch-tone telephone.
2.
When the system answers, enter your Remote Access code.
When the Remote Access code is entered correctly, the system will beep twice, indicating that the system is
ready for a remote command.
NOTE: If you do not want to hear the announcement, enter your Remote Access code as soon as the
announcement begins. If the announcement does not stop, enter the Remote Access code again.
3.
Follow the instructions for the feature you wish to access. You have approximately 4 seconds to enter
a command; otherwise, the system will automatically begin to play your messages.
NOTE: You must call from a touch tone telephone to enter your Remote Access code and to operate
other remote features.
Listening to Your Messages
1.
Dial your telephone number and wait for your system to answer.
2.
Enter your Remote Access code during or after your announcement.
3.
After you hear 2 beeps, either wait 4 seconds for the system to play your messages automatically, or
press and release 7 to bypass the four-second wait. The system beeps as it repositions the tape, and
then begins playing.
