2.
Speak into the phone in a normal tone of voice. Just as with messages, the system will accept memos
up to 4 minutes in length.
3.
When you are finished, press and release 5. The system will record the day and time that you left the
memo, reset itself to answer calls again, and then beep twice to indicate that it is ready to accept a
command.
Recording a Telephone Conversation
Once you’ve established a connection with the answering system, you can record a telephone conversation.
The telephone conversation will be recorded on the message tape along with other messages.
1.
While you are having a conversation on the cordless handset, press and release ANS SYS and wait for
the ANS SYS indicator to light.
2.
When the indicator lights to show that you have made a connection with the answering system, press
and release * TONE (MEMO/2 WAY). The system will beep once and begin to record.
NOTE: This unit does not sound warning beeps to let the other party know that the call is being
recorded. To ensure that you are in compliance with any federal or state regulations regarding
recording a telephone call, you should start the recording process and then inform the caller that
you are recording the call.
3.
To stop recording, press and release 5, or end the telephone call.
To listen to the recording, follow the instructions for listening to your messages.
Call Monitoring
As calls come in, the answering system will answer and record messages as long as it is set for automatic
answering operation. You can use the cordless handset to listen to the callers as they leave messages, and
you can speak to a caller directly if you wish (see “Call Intercept).
Monitoring Calls
1.
When the handset rings, press and release ANS SYS and wait for the ANS SYS indicator to light.
2.
When the indicator lights to show that you have made a connection with the answering system, you
will hear your own announcement and the caller’s message through the handset.
3.
To end monitoring without answering the call, press and release OFF or return the handset to the base.
Call Intercept
At any time while the answering system is taking a call- during the outgoing announcement or while the
system is recording the caller’s message – you can interrupt the answering system and take the call. If the
cordless handset is in the base, just pick up the handset and speak to the caller. If the handset is away from
the base, press PHONE and take the call as soon as the PHONE indicator lights. You can also pick up the
handset of any extension phone on the same line to take the call.
The answering system should stop playing the announcement (or recording the message), and ready itself to
answer calls again. If it doesn’t stop, quickly press and release the switchhook of the extension phone you
are using.
Turning the Answering System On or Off
You can perform the operations described below using the cordless handset. However, this feature is
probably most useful if you call your home or office from another touch tone phone and find that the system
doesn’t answer even after 4 rings.
1.
Establish a connection with the base, either by pressing ANS SYS on the cordless handset, or by
dialing your phone number. Even if the AUTO ANSWER switch is set to OFF, the system will
answer after 10 rings (as long as it is connected to AC power). The computerized voice will ask you
to enter your access code. Enter your code.
2.
Press 0 (AUTO ANS). The system will announce its current status by saying “Answer On,” or
“Answer Off.”
3.
If the status is off, you can change the status by pressing #, waiting for the 2-beep signal, and then
pressing 0. The system will announce its new status, and then beep twice to indicate that it is ready
to accept a command.
