Operation

Store number

When this feature is on, the system will 

announce the caller’s number before playing 
back a message.

Accept blocked calls

When this feature is turned off, the system 

will respond to blocked calls (from callers 
who have chosen to block their numbers 

from identification) with the pre-recorded 

announcement, 

“We’re sorry, blocked calls to 

this number cannot be accepted.”

 The system 

then hangs up without recording any incoming 
messages. When this feature is turned on, it will 

answer and record messages from any caller.

Message window

The message window displays the total number 
of messages recorded. If there are more than 

nine messages recorded, the message window 

displays the first digit, second digit and dash 
alternatively. If the message window displays 

F

, then the memory is full and some messages 

must be deleted before new messages can be 
recorded.

ON/OFF

 light blinks when there are new 

messages.

message window displays the number of the 
message playing. Before playing each message,

message was received. If the clock wasn’t set 
when the message was recorded, or there was 
a power failure after it was set, the sytem will 
announce 

“Power failure”

 after the time and 

day. After playing the last message, the system 
announces
