4.
To stop recording, press and release 5 (STOP), or end the telephone call. The recording is counted as a
new message.
Note:
This unit does not sound warning beeps to let the other party know that the call is being recorded.
To ensure that you are in compliance with any federal or state regulations regarding recording a telephone
call, you should start the recording process and then inform the caller that you are recording the call.
Note:
If the system does not detect a 1 or 2 for Mailbox 1 or Mailbox 2, the memo or telephone
conversation will be recorded into Mailbox 1.
Call Monitoring
As calls come in, the answering system will answer and record messages as long as it is set for automatic
answering operation. You can use the cordless handset to listen to the callers as they leave messages, and
you can speak to a caller directly if you wish.
Monitoring Calls
1.
If the handset is away from the base, press and release ANS SYS and wait for the ANS SYS light to go
on.
2.
When the light goes on to show that you have made a connection with the answering system, you will
hear your own announcement and the caller’s message through the handset.
3.
To end monitoring without answering the call, press and release OFF or return the handset to the base.
Call Intercept
At any time while the answering system is taking a call – during the outgoing announcement or while the
system is recording the caller’s message – you can interrupt the answering system and take the call. If the
cordless handset is in the base just pick up the handset and speak to the caller. If the handset is away from
the base, press PHONE and take the call as soon as the PHONE light goes on. You can also pick up the
handset of any extension phone on the same line to take the call.
The answering system should stop playing the announcement (or recording the message). If it doesn’t stop,
quickly press and release the switchhook of the extension phone you are using, or press PHONE on the
handset.
Turning the Answering System On or Off
You can perform the operations described below using the cordless handset. However, this feature is
probably most useful if you call your home or office from another touch tone phone and find that the system
doesn’t answer even after four rings.
1.
Establish a connection with the base, either by pressing ANS SYS on the cordless handset, or by
dialing your phone number. Even if AUTO ANSWER is OFF, the system will answer after 10 rings
and announce “The machine is off” (as long as it is connected to AC power). The system will beep
twice to indicate it is ready to accept the remote access code. Enter your code.
2.
You can change the status by pressing # (CHANGE), waiting for the two-beep signal, and then pressing
0 (ON/OFF). The system will announce “The machine is on” if you are setting the system to answer
calls, or “The machine is off” if you are setting the system to not answer calls. The system will then
beep twice to indicate it is ready for a new command.
When the Memory Is Full
If the memory is full, the system will announce “Memory is full.” Once a connection to the base has been
established, you can listen to messages, then delete them so the system will begin taking calls again.
Press 1 (ALL MSG) to listen to all of your messages, or 2 (NEW MSG) to listen to your new messages.
You can selectively delete a message by pressing 3 (DELETE) while that message is being played.
Remember that you can also use 6 (FORWARD) to skip over any messages that you’ve already heard.
