Sample Message:
“Hello, this is ______________.
I can’t come to the phone right now, but please
leave your name and phone number after you
hear the beep. I’ll return your call as soon as
possible. If you wish to leave a message
specifically for Bob, press “1*”, for Joan, press
“2*”. Thank you for calling.”
Notes:
•
The maximum length for an outgoing
message is approximately 1 minute and the
minimum is about 2 seconds. When the
maximum outgoing message length is
reached, the system sounds three short
tones and plays back the message. Repeat
these steps to record a new outgoing
message.
The counting numbers will flash,
at the last 10 seconds.
•
If you record your own message and later
decide to use the prerecorded message,
hold down
GREETING
until a beep sounds.
Release
GREETING
, and the system plays
the prerecorded outgoing message. If you
want to use a personal greeting, you must
record it again.
To Check the Greeting
1. To check the greeting, press and release
GREETING quickly.
2. Your outgoing greeting will be played back
to you, and then your system will reset to
answer incoming calls.
Note: You can stop greeting playback by
pressing
GREETING
once again.
Setting the System to Answer Calls
1. Press
ANSWER ON/OFF
once to turn on
the system.
2. When the system answers a call, it plays
the outgoing message then beeps.
3. The caller can leave a message up to one
minute in length. After the caller hangs up,
is silent for more than seven seconds, or
the maximum message length is reached,
the system hangs up and resets to answer
the next call. The number flashes on the
display to indicate an incoming message
has been recorded.
4. When the system answers a call or records
a message, if any phone on the same line
is picked up or the system detects a Calling
Party Control (CPC) signal, it stops playing
the outgoing message or recording, and
resets to answer another call.
5. When the system is off ( “–” appears on
the display) and there is an incoming call,
it will answer the call after 10 rings and
sound a long beep, then waits seven
seconds for the remote code.
Notes:
•
When there are messages from 0-9, the
display shows ‘0’ to ‘9’ respectively. If there
are more than 9 messages, the display will
be flashing.
•
When the memory is full, ‘F’ appears on
the display. If you try to change to OGM
(Out Going Message) while the default
OGM is on, the unit will emit three beep
tones and the OGM will not change. If you
already have a personal OGM, you can still
change your OGM when the memory is full.
•
Many local phone companies use Calling
Party Control (CPC) to signal that a caller
has hung up. Your system can recognize a
CPC signal and release the line.
•
If memory reaches maximum capacity,
while a caller is leaving a message, it stops
recording and hangs up automatically.
Screening Calls
To screen your calls, let the system answer.
Listen to the caller’s message through the
system’s speaker. If you decide to answer the
call, pick up any phone connected to the same
phone line as the system. The system stops
recording and resets to answer the next call. In
the event that the system continues recording,
press the hook switch on the telephone
momentarily.
Notes:
•
When the lowest volume is set, the caller’s
message cannot be heard. The standard
voice prompts, beep tone, and recorded
message should not be audible at minimum
volume when any of the buttons are
pressed, either.
•
If you pick up the phone just as the system
answers, the system might not stop playing
the message. If this happens, press
PLAY/
STOP
to stop playing the message.
Recording Message into the Mailbox
You can record a message, for another member
of your household, in either of the two
mailboxes (Mailbox 1 or Mailbox 2). It will be
played back, along with other messages, in the
corresponding mailbox.
To Record Message:
1. Press and hold the MAIL 1 or MAIL 2. A
beep will sound.
2. Record your message through the
microphone in the speaker holes.
3. When your message is completed, release
the button.
