ANSWERING SYSTEM SETUP
Setting the Announce Mode
There are three different answering modes that the BE-3872 can be set to:
normal (ICM) answering mode, answer only mode, and answer off.
Setting the Answering System Off:
When the answering machine is set off, the answering system will not pick up
until the phone rings 10 times. At that point, the BE-3872 is automatically
turned on, and set to one of the two answer modes below, depending on the
ANS. switch setting.
1. Press the [ANS On/Off] key to turn the answering machine on. The system
will announce "Answering Machine is On."
2. Press the [ANS On/Off] key again to turn the answering machine off. The
system will announce "Answering Machine is Off."
Setting to Normal Answering Mode:
Make sure that the answering machine is on (the message counter will show
something other than "--"). Locate the ANS. switch on the base bottom. Make
sure the switch is set to "ICM."
When set to ANS. "ICM," the BE-3872 will play your announcement, and then
allow the caller to leave a message.
Press the [OGM] key at any time to hear the current announcement. If no OGM
is recorded, "you have no announcement" is heard instead. "OP" will display
during playback.
Note: Incoming messages are limited to a maximum of 2 minutes. Once the
message exceeds 2 minutes, the system beeps three times and discon-
nects the call. If the system memory is exceeded, "Memory full" is
announced and the call is disconnected.
Setting to Announce Only Answering Mode:
Make sure that the answering machine is on (the message counter will show
something other than "--").
1. Locate the ANS. switch on the base bottom.
2. Set the switch to "Only." The message counter will display [Ao].
3. Record your Announce Only announcement by following the same steps
under "Recording an Announcement" on page 21.
When set to ANS "Only," the BE-3872 will play your announcement, and then
disconnect the call. The caller is unable to leave any messages.
Note: If you have not recorded an announcement only greeting, while in this
mode the system will simply answer "Memory Full" and then hang up.
