Introduction

Voice Activated Recording (VOX) Detection — the system 
stops recording when the caller hangs up or after 7 seconds of 
silence to help conserve memory space.

Remote Operation — lets you use a touch-tone phone (or 
rotary phone and pocket tone dialer) to operate the system 
while you are away from your home or office.

Remote Answer-on — lets you call the system from a remote 
location and set it to answer calls.

Adjustable Ring Number — you can set the system to answer 
after two, four, or seven rings. 

Toll-Saver — lets you avoid unnecessary toll charges when 
calling long-distance to check your messages.

Selectable Incoming Message Length — lets you set the 
maximum length of a caller’s message to 1 or 5 minutes.

Memory Full Warning — lets you know when the system’s 
memory is full.

Message Indicator — flashes to let you know you have new 
messages.

READ THIS BEFORE INSTALLATION

Your system conforms to federal regulations, and you can 
connect it to most telephone lines. However, each device that 
you connect to the phone line draws power from the phone line. 
We refer to this power draw as the device’s ringer equivalence 
number, or REN. The REN is on the bottom of the system.
