To set the answer delay
You can set the number of times the
telephone will ring before the Freestyle 1100
answers the call. The
ANS DELAY
switch can
be set to 2, 6 or ts (time saver), by moving
the switch one step at a time.
• The
2
rings setting will be answered after
approximately 7 seconds. Your Freestyle
1100 is preset to this position.
• The 6 rings setting will be answered after
approximately 19 seconds.
• The
TS
setting (time saver) is used to save
time when accessing your machine
remotely. Your Freestyle 1100 answers after
2 rings if you have any messages or 6 rings
if there are none. When you call to listen to
your messages, if the telephone rings a
third time it means there are no messages,
so hang up to save time.
For more information on remote accessing,
see
page 21 .
To reset the unit
When the
RESET
button is pressed and
released the unit will display “PF” followed by
a count down from “36.” When the countdown
reaches “00” the unit will beep and announce
the current setting of the answer delay switch.
The Freestyle 1100 has been reset to the
following factory settings:
• The time and day has been reset to
Sunday 12am.
• The outgoing message is, “Please leave a
message after the tone.”
• All incoming messages and notes have been
deleted.
• The PIN code has been reset to “
0-0-0
”.
To set the ring mode switch
The ring mode switch on the handset can be
set to either:
•
RAMPED
(gradually increasing volume) or
•
CONSTANT
(constant volume).
Most callers are used to having their calls answered
within 10 seconds and the majority will abandon
the call if it is not answered within 45 seconds.
The 2 rings setting is regarded as the normal
setting and is the one we recommend (BS6789
section 3.2 parts 4.2.2.2 and 4.2.2.3).
The constant mode must only be used if the
telephone is connected as an extension to a PBX.
Under any other condition the switch must be set to
ramped to prevent the possibility of damage to the
user’s hearing if the handset is close to the ear
when it rings. Do not hold the handset to the ear
when in standby mode.
