Changing Your Announcement
To change your announcement, follow the steps under "Recording Your Announcement." The old
announcement is deleted when a new announcement is recorded.
Turning the System On/Off
After you have recorded your announcement, the Message Window should be on, indicating that the system
is ready to answer calls. The Message Window shows the number of messages stored in memory (0 if no
messages have been received).
If the Message Window is not on, press and release ON/OFF to turn the system on.
If you do not want your system to answer calls, press and release ON/OFF so that the Message Window
turns off.
Answering Calls
When the system answers a call, the caller hears the announcement you recorded, followed by a beep. After
the beep, the system begins recording your caller's message. While the system is taking a call, the Message
Window displays "-".
NOTE: To conserve memory, messages are limited to a maximum of 90 seconds each. If the caller is
still speaking after 90 seconds, is silent for more than 7 seconds, or if the system's memory runs out,
the system beeps once and hangs up.
Screening Your Calls
To screen your calls, set the system to answer calls and adjust the VOLUME control so you can hear the
announcement and a caller's message on the system's built-in speaker.
If you decide to take a call, lift the handset of any telephone on the same line. The system will stop
recording and reset to answer calls.
NOTE: If the announcement does not stop right away, press and release the telephone switch hook or
press STOP.
Ring Select (Toll Saver)
Use the RINGS switch on the back of the system to select the number of times the phone rings before the
system answers,
Set to 2 if you want the system to answer all calls on the second ring.
Set to 4 if you want the system to answer all calls on the fourth ring.
Set to TS (Toll Saver) if you want the system to answer calls on the second ring if you have new
messages and on the fourth ring if you do not have new messages.
Use the Toll Saver setting when you will be calling from another location to check for messages. The
system will answer after 2 rings only if you have received new messages since the last time you listened to
messages. If no messages have been received, the phone will ring at least 3 times before the system
answers. You can then hang up after the third ring to avoid paying for the call.
When Memory is Full
The system can record approximately 9.5 minutes of messages (including the time for your announcement)
or a maximum of 50 messages. When memory is full or 50 messages have been recorded, an "F" flashes in
the Message Window. To make room for more messages, listen to your messages and delete some or all of
them.
When memory is full, the system will answer calls after 10 rings and present 2 beeps instead of your
announcement.
Message Window
The Message Window is used to display the number of messages that have been recorded. The Message
Window can count only up to 9. If more than 9 messages are recorded, the display alternates between a "9"
and a "-".
