Setting Not to Answer Calls
1. Press the ANS. ON/OFF button to turn OFF the answer function.

allowing you to turn the system ON from a remote location.
Screening Incoming Calls
The system allows you to listen to a caller leaving a message.
Once the system starts answering a call, either press the ANS.CONT
button for listening only; system will record continuously or press the TALK
button for conversation; system will stop recording.
Message Alert
When the message alert switch is "ON", the unit will generate a beep sound every
18 seconds when a new message is recorded. If you do not want to hear the beep,
set the switch to "OFF".
Setting Ring Select
To choose the number of times the phone rings before the system answers, set
the Ring Select Switch to 3R, 5R or TS (Toll Saver)
Set to 3R - System answers call on the third ring.
Set to 5R - System answers call on the fifth ring.
Set to TS - Use "Toll Saver" (TS) when you will be calling long
distance or from a pay phone to check for messages. The
system answers on the third ring only if you have new
messages. If there are no messages, the phone will answer
on the fifth ring. You can then hang up on the forth ring to
avoid paying for the call.

counted. Day and time are automatically stamped at the end of the message.
