Answering Calls
When the system answers a call, the caller hears the announcement you recorded
followed by a beep. After the beep, the system begins recording your caller’s message,up
to three minutes long. If the message is longer than three minutes, or if the caller is silent
for more than seven seconds, or if the system runs out of memory, the system beeps once
and hangs up.
Turning the System On and Off
To turn the system on, press the O button on the front of the unit (the red light goes
on). To turn the system off,press the button again.
Volume Control
Press V to increase the volume,or v to decrease volume. There are eight
volume settings available (the default setting is 5).
If you set the volume at 0 and then press P to play back messages, the volume is
reset to 2.
Call Screening/Intercept
Set the system to answer calls, set the Announcement Monitor to On, and set the volume
control so you can hear the caller’s message. (If you set the volume to 0, you will be
unable to hear callers.)
If you decide to take the call,pick up any phone on the same line as the answering
system. If you pick up the phone during the announcement and the announcement does
not stop right away, press and release the telephone switchhook,or press P on
the system.
Announcement Bypass
You might want to let frequent callers know they can press # on a touch tone phone
when they hear your announcement begin. The system then stops playing your
announcement and beeps so the caller can immediately begin recording a message.
