Operating The Answering Machine - Sharp FO-475 Operation Manual

Operating the Answering Machine

Activating the answering machine
Activate the answering machine before you go out as follows:
Press the RECEPTION MODE key until
the arrow in the display points to ANS..
Each outgoing message will play (you
can stop playback by pressing the
STOP key).
It will not be possible to set the
reception mode to ANS. if a general
outgoing message has not been
recorded.
When the reception mode is set to ANS., the FO-475 will answer incoming
calls after two rings if it has received at least one incoming message, or after
four rings if no messages have been received. (For more information, see Toll
Saver in Remote Operations in this chapter.)
Note: If the memory is full from messages previously recorded, MEMORY
IS FULL will appear in the display. To set the reception mode to ANS.,
you must first erase some or all of the stored messages.
Note: In ANS. mode, the machine will automatically switch to fax
reception if it detects a period of silence longer than six seconds after
answering a call. For this reason, if a caller pauses for this length of time
while leaving a message, they will be cut off and hear fax reception tones.
Listening to received messages
When you return, the display will show the number of messages recorded in
each box. Listen to them as follows:
