Announce Only lets you set your system to play a message
for callers, and then automatically hang up without taking a
message.
Set
1/5/ANNC ONLY
on
the back of your phone to
ANNC ONLY
. When the
system receives a call, it
plays the announce only
message and Caller ID
information appears.
• After the
announcement, the
system beeps five
times, and stays
online for 10
seconds so you can enter the remote operation security
code if necessary.
• If the system does not receive a code within 10
seconds, it hangs up and resets to answer the next call.
To turn off announce only, set
1/5/ANNC ONLY
to either
1
or
5
.
Ô
The system always answers on the second ring except
when the memory is full.
Ô
NOTE
Ô
Setting the System to
Answer Calls
•
A call ends automatically when
the caller hangs up, there is
silence for more than seven
seconds, or the recording
reaches maximum message
length.
•
The system supports a
maximum of 92 messages.
•
If the system’s memory reaches
its maximum capacity while a
caller is leaving a message, the
system stops recording, beeps
and then hangs up.
•
If the system receives a call
when its memory is full, it
answers after ten rings and
plays “No one is available to
take your call”, waits for any
remote operation commands,
then hangs up. The system
cannot record new messages
until you delete some of the old
ones (see “Deleting Voice
Messages” on Page 19).
•
If you try to record a message
when the memory is full, the
system announces “Memory is
full”.
•
Many local phone companies
use calling party control (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 the Announce Only
Feature
When the system is set to ANNC
ONLY:
•
You cannot set it to record calls
using the remote commands.
•
You can still use remote
commands to perform all
operations.
