Operating the Answering Machine
Activating the answering machine
Activate the answering machine before you go out as follows:
Press the
RECEPTION MODE
key
until the arrow in the display points to
A.M.
.
•
The outgoing message will play
(you can stop playback by pressing
the
STOP
key).
•
It will not be possible to set the
reception mode to A.M. if a general
outgoing message has not been
recorded.
When the reception mode is set to A.M., the FO-885 will answer
incoming calls after two rings if it has received at least one incoming
message, or after four rings if no messages have been received. (For
more information, see
Toll Saver
in
Remote Operations
in this
chapter.)
Note:
If the memory is full from messages previously recorded,
MEMORY IS FULL will appear in the display. To set the reception mode
to A.M., you must first erase some or all of the stored messages.
Note:
In A.M. mode, the machine will automatically switch to fax
reception if it detects a period of silence longer than six seconds after
answering a call. For this reason, if a caller pauses for this length of time
while leaving a message, they will be cut off.
