Tel-Lynx Guardian Startup Manual

Thank you for purchasing Tel-Lynx! Your box should contain a Start Up Guide, Reference Guide, power supply,
4-wire telephone cable, USB cable, and the Guardian unit. We use the term Guardian to refer to both the
Guardian and Guardian BT when it makes no difference.
Please read through these instructions before you begin
set up. Any time you press
instructions on your telephone's handset or speaker phone.
You don't have to wait for Tel-Lynx to finish speaking to take
action. Also, caller ID service is not required to use
Tel-Lynx, but if you don't have it, every caller will be asked
to say their name every time they call

Remember that after greeting first time, new callers, Tel-Lynx says, "You will be connected in a moment. First, I
need to collect some information so I may announce your call." So keep your greeting short, e.g., "Hello. You
have reached <your name(s)>." Do not include "leave a message" in your greeting!
