code. (It is not necessary to wait for the announcement to finish).
The system will announce the number of messages you have (for example: "You have 3 messages"), and
then beep twice to indicate that it is ready to accept a command.
If it doesn't receive any instructions in a few seconds, the system will automatically play all of your
messages for you. You can allow the system to play your messages, or you can use the number buttons on
the phone to direct the system to perform any of the other operations.
Instructions for the most frequently used commands are listed below.
You can use the Voice Help Menu to remind you of the correct button to press for each operation. To end
the connection from the outside telephone line, simply hang up.
Listening to Your Messages
Playing All of Your Messages
Press and release 1. The system will play all of the messages on the tape and then beep twice to
indicate that it is ready to accept a new command.
Playing New Messages Only
Press and release 2. The system will play only those messages recorded since the last time messages
were checked, and then it will beep twice to indicate that it is ready to accept a new command.
Saving Messages
This system automatically saves old messages after playback, unless you command it to clear messages.
After performing any answering system operation, simply hang up the phone.
Clearing Messages
Press and release 3. The system rewinds the tape, resets itself to record new messages over the old
ones and then beeps twice to indicate that it is ready to accept a new command.
Additional Message Operations
The operations explained below are available from the cordless handset or from any touch tone phone away
from your home or office. Once you've established a connection with the answering system, you can
perform any of these operations during message playback.
Repeating a Message
Press and release 4 (REPEAT). The system will stop playing, rewind to the beginning of the current
message, and then resume playing. Each time you press and release 4, the system will back up one more
message. When you've heard the messages you wanted repeated, you can then let the system play until it
reaches the end of the last message, or you can interrupt message playback at any time. (See "Interrupting
Message Playback).
Skipping a Message
Press and release 6 (SKIP). The system will stop playing, advance the tape to the beginning of the next
message, and resume playing. Each time you press and release 6, the tape will advance one more message.
When you've heard the messages you wanted to play, you can then let the system play until it reaches the
end of the last message, or you can interrupt message playback at any time. (See "Interrupting Message
Playback").
Interrupting Message Playback
Press and release 5 (STOP/HELP). The system will stop playing, and beep twice to indicate that it is ready
to accept a new command. If you do not enter a new command within 60 seconds, the system will advance
the tape to the end of the last message, so that old messages will not be erased when a new call comes in.
NOTE: Pressing 5 when the system is performing an operation will signal the system to stop.
Pressing 5 when the system is idle will activate the Voice Help Menu.
