Message Window and Indicator Lights
The system provides two methods to inform you about the status of system operation: the displays in the
Message Window and the indicator lights.
Message Window
The Message Window displays a running count of messages received; the day and time; various options;
call status; the mailboxes; and system status information.
Indicator Lights
The LOW BATTERY light goes on to alert you when you need to replace the battery.
The PLAY light blinks on and off when new messages have been received.
The ON/OFF light indicates whether the system is ready to answer calls and record messages.
When the light is:.
•
OFF –
the system is off and will answer calls only after 10 rings. Press ON/OFF to turn the system on.
•
On steady –
the system is ready to answer calls and record messages.
•
Flashing –
the system cannot answer calls. There are several reasons why this may happen:
There is no announcement.
System Memory is full.
50 messages have been recorded.
Setting Message Alert
1.
You can set the system to beep every 10 seconds to notify you when new messages have been received.
Set the MSG ALERT switch, located on the right side of the unit, to ON. If you do not want to hear the
beeps, set the switch to OFF.
Listening to Your Messages
You can listen to your messages using either the handset or the built-in speaker. All of the playback
functions remain the same, regardless of the manner in which you listen to your messages.
To listen to messages in Mailboxes 2, 3, or 4, you must select the mailbox that you want.
Before playing your messages, adjust the Volume switch to a comfortable listening level.
During message playback, the system announces the time and day that the message was received, and then
plays the message. The number of the message being played displays in the Message Window. The system
beeps once after each message and announces “End of messages” after the last message plays.
The following options are available for message playback.
To play all messages and memos,
press and release PLAY.
To play only new messages
(messages that were recorded after the last time you listened to your
messages), hold down PLAY. Wait until the system begins playing a message (about 2 seconds) and then
release PLAY.
If there are new messages, the system displays the number of the first new message as it begins to play. If
there are no new messages, the system announces “No new messages.”
To interrupt a message,
press and release STOP. To continue playing the message where you stopped,
press PLAY or FWD. To resume playing at the beginning of the current message, press REPEAT.
If you do not continue playing messages within 30 seconds of pressing STOP, the Message Window
displays the total number of messages again.
To repeat an entire message
, tap REPEAT. The system resumes playing at the beginning of the message.
To play an earlier message,
tap REPEAT until the number of the message is displayed.
To skip a message
, tap FORWARD. The system stops playing, moves to the beginning of the next
message, and resumes playing. The system advances one message each time you press FWD.
