3.1 Turning the AM880 ON and OFF
To turn on the AM880, press ON/OFF/STOP button. The PLAY LED
illuminates and the AM880 is ready to answer calls.
To turn it off, press ON/OFF/STOP button. The play LED turns off.
3.2 Recording outgoing messages (OGM)
The AM880 has two prerecorded outgoing messages:
1. An outgoing message that says ‘
Hello, please leave a message
after the tone
’. If the ANS/ANNC ONLY switch is set to ANS, the
AM880 will play this message to your callers unless you record your
own.
2. Announce-only outgoing message that says “
No one is available to
take your call
”. If the ANS/ANNC ONLY switch is set to ANNC ONLY,
the AM880 will play this message to your callers unless you record
your own.
To record your own OGM (up to 5 minutes in length):
1. To record an outgoing message, slide ANSN/ANNC ONLY switch
to ANS.
To record an announce-only outgoing message, slide ANS/ANNC
ONLY switch to ANNC ONLY.
2. Press and hold / OGM button and the AM880 beeps. The display
shows ‘OGM RECORDING’ and the counter starts counting up.
3. Speak clearly at a distance of about 15 cm (6 inches) from the
microphone.
4. Release the / OGM button when you have finished speaking.
Your OGM will be played back automatically and the display shows
‘OGM PLAYBACK’.
Notes:
• To change your OGM, repeat steps 1-4 above.
• Each outgoing message can be recorded, played back, or deleted
independently.
• The maximum recording memory of your answering system is
approximately 50 minutes. The length of your message will reduce
the total recording time available for incoming calls. For example, a
20-second message will leave approximately 49 minutes and 40
seconds recording time.
• To check your OGM at any time, press and release the / OGM
button.
• If you record your own message and subsequently decide to use
the prerecorded message, press / OGM button, then while your
own message is playing, press DELETE button.
