Answering System Operation
SETTING THE RECORD
TIME
Set REC TIME to 1 , 4 , or ANN to determine
how the answering system will record incom-
ing messages.
1 — The answering system plays the outgo-
ing message and lets callers leave a mes-
sage up to 1 minute long.
4 — The answering system plays the outgo-
ing message and lets callers leave a mes-
sage up to 4 minutes long.
ANN (Announcement Only) — The an-
swering system plays the outgoing message
but does not let callers leave a message.
SELECTING THE OUTGOING
MESSAGE
The answering system has two prerecorded
outgoing messages. One asks the caller to
leave a message: “Hello, no one is available
to take your call. Please leave a message af-
ter the tone.” The answering system uses
this message when
REC TIME is set to 1 or 4
(see “Setting the Record Time”).
The other is simply an announcement and
does not let the caller leave a message: “Hel-
lo, no one is available to take your call.” The
answering system uses this message when
REC TIME is set to ANN (announcement
only).
You can also record your own message (see
“Recording/Deleting an Outgoing Message”).
When you record your own outgoing mes-
sage, the answering system uses it for all
REC TIME settings.
To switch between your outgoing message
and the answering system’s prerecorded
message, press
OGM . When the current
message begins to play, press OGM again.
The answering system switches to the other
message and plays it.
RECORDING/DELETING AN
OUTGOING MESSAGE
To record your outgoing message (up to 30
seconds long), hold down
OGM until the an-
swering system beeps and
## ## ## ##
appears.
When you finish your message, press PLAY/
STOP or OGM . The answering system plays
back your message.
To delete your outgoing message and use
the answering system’s prerecorded mes-
sages, hold down
OGM until the answering
system beeps. Then press OGM again within
two seconds.
SETTING THE ANSWERING
SYSTEM TO ANSWER
CALLS
To set the answering system to answer calls,
press
ANSWER . If the answering system is
set to record a caller’s message (see “Set-
ting the Record Time”), it plays the outgoing
message and shows the number of recorded
messages. If the answering system is set to
announcement-only, it plays the outgoing
message, and
7777
appears.
To set the answering system to not answer
calls, press
ANSWER . The answering system
announces “Answer off” and the message
counter turns off.
