Operation

outgoing message or recording an incoming message and 
resets to answer another call.

Notes:

• If the system’s memory is full, it answers calls after 10 

rings. The caller hears “No one is available to take your 
call,” the system sounds a beep, and the caller cannot 
leave a message. The system cannot record additional 
messages until you delete some of the old messages (see 
“Deleting Messages” on Page 17).

• Many local phone companies use CPC to signal that the 

caller has hung up. Your system can recognize a CPC 
signal and release the line. If the system records phone 
company messages or dial tones, your local phone 
company probably does not use CPC.

USING ANNOUNCE-ONLY

Announce-only sets the system to play a message for the caller, 
then automatically disconnects without letting the caller leave a 
message.

To select  announce-only, slide 

INCOMING MSG

 to 

ANN ONLY

When the system receives a call, it answers after two rings and 
plays the announce-only message, a long beep sounds, then it 
monitors the phone line for remote codes received within about 
10 seconds.

You can use the system’s  prerecorded announce-only OGM 
“No one is available to take your call,” or record your own.
