after each message playback. Please refer to the
INITIAL SETUP or REMOTE OPERATION section on how to set the system time and day.
SETTING ANSWER ON / OFF
The unit defaults to Answer ON automatically after power up. The Excursion
®
39765 will announce

change the time and record your announcement.”
The Digital LED Display will indicate the total number of message(s) in Message
Center (primary mailbox).

SETTING THE RINGS SWITCH (2 / 4 / TS)
The number of rings before the answering system answers a call can be selected by
setting the RINGS
switch on the base unit to:
2 - Two rings
4 - Four rings
TS - Toll Saver (Figure 19)
•
Toll Saver lets you avoid unnecessary toll charges when calling long distance to remotely retrieve your messages.
The Excursion
®
39765 can be set to answer the first call on the 4th ring, and all subsequent calls on the 2nd ring by setting the
RINGS switch on the Toll Saver (TS) position.
If your Excursion
®
39765 fails to answer on the 2nd ring, then you know that you do not have any new message(s). You can hang
up before the unit answers and save the cost of the call.
SETTING THE ICM REC SWITCH
Setting the ICM REC switch to NORMAL position allows a caller to leave a message for
up to two minutes.
Setting the ICM REC switch to ANNC ONLY position allows OGM playback only. ANNC
ONLY setting will not record ICMs.
In this setting, the Digital LED Display will always display
“Ao”.
(Figure 20)
NOTE:
Up to 59 messages or a total recording time of 10 minutes for all messages (OGMs, ICMs, and Memos) can be recorded on the
Excursion
®
39765.
MAILBOXES
Messages can be recorded in three mailboxes (Mail 1, Mail 2 and Message Center). You can assign mailboxes to individual family
members, business departments, etc. Your OGM tells the caller how to leave messages to specific mailboxes. If a caller does not select
a mailbox prior leaving a message, the incoming message will be recorded automatically into Message Center (Primary mailbox).
OUTGOING MESSAGES (OGMs)
This is the announcement callers will hear when the Excursion
®
39765 answers a call. A maximum of four OGMs (Answer Only, Mail 1,
Mail 2 and Message Center) can be recorded up to 30 seconds each. The Excursion
®
39765 also has a default OGM (factory preset)
which is active when there are no OGMs present.
NOTE:
Before using you answer system, it is suggested that you record an OGM.
A.
NORMAL OGM
•
This will be played after the Excursion
®
39765 answers the call. It should include instructions for the caller on how to access the
individual mailboxes. For example:
“
Hello, you have reached 555-1234. To leave a message for Peter, press STAR (*) and 1, now. To leave a message for Paul,
press STAR (*) and 2, now. To leave a general message, please wait for the tone and then leave your message.”
B. ANSWER ONLY (ANNC ONLY) OGM
•
You may choose to have the Excursion
®
39765 make an outgoing announcement without recording messages (the ICM REC
switch is set to ANNC ONLY). Here is an example for an Answer Only OGM:
“
Hello. Thank you for calling Flora 's flowers. Our hours are from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Monday through Friday. Please call back
during our normal business hours. Thank you”
C. MAIL 1 AND MAIL2 OGMs
•
If the caller has selected a mailbox, they will hear the individual OGM specific to that mailbox. For example:
