Telephone answering machine
Charge saving function: This function allows you to save charges when retrieving the messages on
your answering machine from a remote location. You can tell whether or not any messages are recor-
ded by the number of rings after which the answering machine seizes the line. If messages exist the
answering machine seizes the line 2 rings earlier than the programmed number of ringing signals.
You have set your Eurit 40 to 7 rings. If any messages are waiting on your answering
machine the line is seized after 5 rings. If the line is not seized after 5 rings, no messages
have arrived. You can immediately terminate the call without having to listen to your own
announcement text.
Listening in: If the function "Listening in" is on, you can listen in over the loudspeaker to a caller
recording a message.
To accept the call:
Recording time: You can limit the maximum recording time per message to 30, 60, 120 or 180
seconds.
Monitoring: With this function you can activate the room monitoring and room speaking with
the remote message retrieval functions (see Section: "Remote message retrieval", Page 62):
– Room monitoring: Switches on the microphone of the Eurit 40. The caller can hear what is
being said in the room and thereby monitor it.
– Room speaking: Switches on the loudspeaker as well as the microphone of the Eurit 40.
This function can be used, for example, to carry on a conversation with persons in the room
(older, bed ridden persons) from a remote location.
Remote retrieval help: You can record an announcement that functions as a brief instruction for
remote message retrieval from your answering machine (also refer to Section "Remote message
retrieval", Page 62).
