SPECIAL FUNCTIONS:
AUTO ANSWER
The unit can be used in auto-answer mode. As an example this can be used in unattended broadcast
applications for your reporter to make his live report on air or in PA applications to make
announcements with your mobile phone.
To put the unit in auto-answer mode press and hold the
OFF “Disconnect” button. The following
message will appear in the display.
Press “1” to put the unit in auto-answer. Note the change of the telephone icon in the right-top corner
of the display. The auto-answer mode is indicated by a lifted handset in the icon. Once in auto answer
the unit will stay this way. This mode is stored in non-volatile memory also after a power interrupt.
To switch off the auto answer function press and hold the
OFF “Disconnect” button and press “0”.
If a connection is lost or the caller ends the unit will auto disconnect and reverts to stand-by again.
