ANSWERING SYSTEM OPERATIONS

Leaving a Message (Incoming Message)

The Answering System will answer a call (according to the current ring selection),
then play the OGM, followed by a beep to signal the start of recording.

Default mailbox is MAILBOX 1.

If your want to record the incoming message in specific mailbox, press "     x"
(     1,     2 or     3) during OGM playback.

After desired mailbox is selected, "Mailbox X, now recording" will be announced,
and incoming message recording starts after a beep.

If incoming message length is less than 2 seconds, message will not be recorded.
An incoming message can be a maximum of 4 minutes.

*         To record a MEMO at the Base Unit, press and hold REC/MEMO until you are rompted
          to choose a mailbox. Then, press the desired MAILBOX key and, after the beep, speak
          towards the front of the Base. Press any MAILBOX key when finished.

When new messages and/or new memos are left, the display will flash the total number
of new messages in all mailboxes.

Press the desired Mailbox key to
hear messages.

The system will announce "Mailbox
X, you have x new message(s) and
x old message(s)" in the presence of
new messages in the corresponding
mailbox. Then the system will play
only the new messages.

In the absence of new messages, the system will announce "Mailbox x, you
have x old messages"and then playback the old messages.

The   and 

 keys can be used to skip forward and backward during message

playback.

MAILBOX key.

The day and time stamp is announced after each message is played.

be, "End of messages", and the Answering System will exit playback mode.

If the system has less than 5 minutes recording time left, it will announce the
remaining recording time to alert the user.
