TeleSMART Messaging Features

TeleSMART is an option available with iCenter, which provides you and your family
with the conveniences of a full-featured digital answering machine. In addition to
all the features of a digital answering system, TeleSMART offers much more,
including caller ID (if service is available), multiple mailboxes, a memo feature, and
a unique Privacy feature that enables you to divert ALL calls to the TeleSMART
mailbox for a duration you select – such as during mealtime, baby's nap time, etc.

instruct the caller to press a key (1-4) corresponding to the desired user's
mailbox, and then leave a message. The system then announces the greeting for
that user and automatically stores the caller's message in that mailbox.

keys, plus a speaker/microphone to record and retrieve voice messages. The
system can also be set so that a user's messages are automatically played
whenever that user disarms the security system from a TeleSMART touchpad.

Playback Upon Disarm

Depending on how iCenter and TeleSMART are set up, messages can be played back
when the system is disarmed. If multiple users and mailboxes are set up, the
messages for a user can be played back when that user disarms the system

Messages and Memos

Like any digital answering system, TeleSMART records incoming telephone
messages. TeleSMART also enables users to record "Memos" for themselves or for
other users. For example, you may record a memo for your child – then when your
child returns from school and disarms the system, your memo is played back ahead
of any telephone messages.

Privacy Feature

The Privacy feature turns off all telephone ringers and lets TeleSMART answer
your calls. This can be useful if you do not wish to be disturbed at certain times.
A simple pull-down menu lets you select the Privacy duration (from 30 minutes to 8
hours). When Privacy is selected (via a check box), TeleSMART will take all calls
for that duration, or until you turn it off.
Use the Message Menu to check for any messages that may have been left while
Privacy was turned on.
