AT&T Digital Magic Messenger

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the AT&T Digital Magic Messenger – the
exciting new digital system that eliminates the need to constantly
answer routine phone calls.
The Magic Messenger is designed to intercept an incoming call
before the first ring and answer it with your prerecorded, digitally
stored announcement. Your Magic Messenger can provide informa-
tion such as your business hours, availability of products, location,
etc., – all automatically. Then, if your caller stays on the line (or if
they press a touch tone key on their phone), the Magic Messenger will
ring through to your telephone so that you can provide further assis-
tance.
The Magic Messenger lets you record two announcements for day
and night operation. You can select which announcement to play
using the ANNOUNCE (or MESSAGE) button on the front panel. If
you wish, you may change from one announcement to the other
remotely from any touch tone phone. For additional security, this fea-
ture is password protected; only those with the password are able to
change the announcement.
Announcements are easily recorded through a built-in microphone, or
you may load professionally recorded announcements from a tape re-
corder through an auxiliary jack at the rear of the unit. You may
review your announcements at any time through the Magic
Messenger's speaker.
If you prefer to answer the phone yourself, you may do so at any time
by pressing the Magic Messenger's BYPASS button.
The Magic Messenger is easy to install and easy to operate (plug &
play). It simply installs between your incoming telephone line and
your telephone or telephone system using standard modular (RJ-11)
jacks. It can sit on a shelf or be mounted on a wall.
You never have to worry about temporary power outages with the
Magic Messenger. With its built-in self-charging ni-cad battery, your
recorded announcements are protected for up to 2 hours. The Magic
Messenger is automatically bypassed during power interruptions so
your telephone continues to operate as it normally would.
