Reset your system

 - This option resets your system 

completely.  

WARNING: Reset deletes all your Message Manager recordings, 
your personal greeting, Shield and Zap announcements, your Zap 
and Star lists and any changes you have made to your preferences. 
It will also reset your PIN to the last 4 digits of the serial number 
printed on a label on the underside of your unit. If you reset your 
system you CANNOT later retrieve any of this information.

Set the system date and time

 - trueCall sets its date and time 

by dialling a special phone line when it is first plugged in (national 
call charges apply). If you have Caller ID, this is updated every time 
you receive a phone call. If for any reason you need to set the date 
and time manually you can do it here.

System information

 - System information tells you about your 

trueCall unit – how much recording time is left, details of your 
memory card, unauthorised access attempts and other information 
that may be required if you call customer services. 

General note on personalising announcements 

You can personalise many of the trueCall announcements by 
recording them in your own voice. Callers prefer to hear announce-
ments made in your own voice, as it confirms to them that they have 
got through to the right number. 

You can also personalise the wording, but be careful - trueCall 
announcements are not like standard answering machine announce-
ments, each one has a specific purpose.  

We recommend that you write down what you want to say before you 
record your personalised announcements. Make sure that you are in 
a quiet place, as any background noise will be picked up. 

When you have finished your recording, dial into your phone from 
another line and check that your announcements are operating as 
you would like. You can always re-record them or revert back to the 
standard announcements. 

Your own personalised announcements are stored with your 
answering machine messages. If there is not enough memory 
available, the menu will not offer options to record these announce-
ments. 

Examples announcements are shown on page 24.
