If you want to play only the fourth and fifth messages, hold down MESSAGES. When you hear the tape
begin to rewind, release MESSAGES. The new messages will then play, and the system will automatically
save all 5 messages.
Clearing Messages
If you wish to clear the messages, press RESET. The system resets to answer calls, the number in the
Message Window returns to 0, and any new messages are recorded over the old messages. Since your old
messages are not actually erased until new messages are recorded, you can play them after resetting the
system.
Replaying Cleared Messages
Press SKIP/FAST FWD. After you hear "End of Messages" or "You have no messages," press SKIP/FAST
FWD again. The system will play the old messages and ready itself to answer calls.
Repeating a Message
Press and release REPEAT/REWIND. The tape will rewind to the beginning of the message and
automatically replay it for you. The tape will back up one message each time you press
REPEAT/REWIND.
Rewinding and Replaying the Tape
Press and hold REPEAT/REWIND. The tape will continue to rewind until you release the button, and will
then automatically replay the tape from that point. The Message Window will tell you which message you
are on.
Skipping a Message
Press and release SKIP/FAST FWD. The tape will advance and begin to play the next message. The tape
will advance 1 message each time you tap SKIP/FAST FWD.
Fast Forward and Playing the Message Tape
Press and hold SKIP/FAST FWD. The tape will continue to advance until you release the button and then
will play the tape from this point. The Message Window will tell you which message you are on.
Interrupting Message Playback
Press STOP. If you do nothing else in the next 60 seconds, the system will automatically fast forward to the
end of your messages. This prevents new messages from being recorded over old ones.
About Microcassettes
An MC-60 microcassette can record approximately 30 minutes on each side.
When the message tape is full; the Message Window will display FL. You can then play all of the
messages and clear the tape, you can turn the tape over, or you can change the tape.
When the message tape is completely filled, the unit cannot record a caller's message. The system will
answer after 10 rings and will beep twice. However, if you are calling in for messages, you will still be able
to enter your access code and give the system touch-tone commands.
Call Monitoring
To listen to your incoming calls without answering the phone, set the system to answer calls and adjust the
message VOLUME control so you can hear a caller's message.
While monitoring your call, you can also use the cordless handset or lift the handset of any telephone on the
same line to talk to the caller (see "Call Intercept"). When you intercept a call, the system stops playing or
recording and readies itself to answer future calls.
Recording a Memo
This feature allows you to record your own memo or message. (For example: if you want to record a
reminder to yourself about a meeting, or if someone else at the base wants to leave you a message.) This
