PROVISION FOR CAPTURING CALLER ID OUT-OF-AREA NUMBERS
At the time of this printing many long distance calls will not be identified by your local Caller ID service. Instead, they will be
identified only as Out-of Area callers. Always-in-Touch will show them as "
0000
" followed by a dash and the duration of the
call.
If many of your contacts are calling from a long distance area, you may want to use the Caller ID override option
61**
. The
unit will still collect the Caller ID information. But, if a caller enters in their telephone number, the Caller ID information will
be overridden. For example: If an Out-of-Area caller keyed in his phone number "
4042637111
", instead of "
0000
"
displaying on your pager, it would display "
404-2637111
".
An example of an answering machine message using option
61**
for Caller ID override is on the following page.
"Please leave your name, number, and brief message after the tone. If you are calling long distance please enter your
telephone number using a touch-tone phone. I will be paged and return your call immediately."
RETRIEVING MESSAGES FROM AN ANSWERING MACHINE
There will be times that you will want to retrieve messages from your answering machine. If Always-in-Touch is connected to
that phone line, you may want to disable it during the call. This will prevent the unit from notifying your pager for that call
only. To disable Always-in-Touch just dial the star key twice (
**
) anytime after the call is answered.
NOTE: Some answering machines respond to the star (*) key by hanging up on the caller, fast forwarding the tape, or other
unwanted actions. You can use "
#
" instead of "
*
", or in any combination with "
*
" to disable the unit from notifying
you. For example, you can use "
##
" , "
*#
" , or "
#*
" . These two keys are interchangeable only when you disable
the unit from notifying you and accessing remote programming. For more information on remote programming,
please refer to page 4.
USING ALWAYS-IN-TOUCH WITH A NATIONWIDE PAGING SERVICE
To use your unit with a nationwide satellite paging service first set option
41**
. This disables the unit from trying to format
the delivered information by using stars (
*
) between groups of data. Nationwide pager services do not allow you to format
data.
When you enter in your pager number into the unit, you may have to include: the paging service phone number, your pin
number, a terminating "
#
" sign, and even, a menu selection number. Furthermore, an appropriate number of delays may have
to be inserted between these groups of numbers. In this case, when programming
your pager number, you would:
1. Set option
41**
1. Enter the paging service phone number.
2. If necessary, enter in the appropriate delay using the pound key (
#
). Where each
#
represents 2 second delay.
3. Enter your pin number followed by "
*#
". The "
*#
" pair instructs the unit to dial an actual "
#
" sign.
4. Enter another delay (
#
) if necessary.
5. Enter the correct menu selection number.
6. Follow this by "
