3.3 Setting the number of rings
To control the duration before the AM880 answers a call, slide the switch
on the AM880’s rear side to the desired number of rings (2, 6, or TS).
TS (Toll Saver) – If you choose the Toll Saver option, and there are new
messages, the AM880 answers after two rings. Otherwise, the AM880
answers after six rings. This lets you avoid unnecessary charges when
calling by long distance to check your messages. If you hear more than
two rings, you know you can hang up because the AM880 has no new
messages.
4 Answering system operation
4.1 General operation
The maximum length for each incoming messages is 5 minutes. If the
caller speaks for longer, a signal tone sounds and the call will be cut off.
If there is a pause of more than 7 seconds during recording, the call is
automatically terminated with a signal tone. No more calls will be
answered if the memory capacity for new messages is exhausted and
the message MEMORY FULL will appear in the display. If memory is
full, the AM880 cannot record new messages until you delete the old
messages. See “Deleting Messages” section.
4.2 Using the announce-only feature
Your AM880’s announce-only feature lets you make an announcement
for the caller, then, it hangs up without letting the caller leave a message.
This is ideal for business use where you need to make an announcement
to callers but do not want to record messages.
To select announce-only mode,
slide ANS/ANNC ONLY to ANNC ONLY.
When the AM880 receives a call, it plays the announce-only message
and sounds 3 beeps. If the remote code has not been entered within 16
seconds, the AM880 will hang up.
Note: You can use remote commands to perform all operations.
To turn off the announce-only feature,
slide ANS/ANNC ONLY to ANS
on the back of the machine.
