Using an External Voice
Answering Machine
Because the VCO can be used as a
standard amplified telephone by the
whole family, you may wish to
connect an external voice answering
machine to your VCO. However, the
VCO has an Auto Answer
function which is turned ON by
pressing the AUTO ANS button on
the VCO. If a voice answering
machine is connected to the VCO
and is ON when the VCO's Auto
Answer is ON, when the VCO
answers the call, it will shut off the
voice answering machine and
nothing will be recorded. Also, if
the VCO is receiving text at the
same time you are playing back
voice messages, the voice message
playback will interfere with the
reception of the text messages.
If you wish to use a voice answering
machine with your VCO, you may.
But, you must make certain that the
Auto Answering function is OFF.
