Answering System Operation

SETTING THE ANSWERING SYSTEM TO ANSWER CALLS

Rotate VOLUME on the base to the right. When the MESSAGE indicator stays on without the answering sys- tem sounding a tone, the system is ready to answer calls.

The answering system records mes- sages and hangs up and resets to an- swer the next call when:

•The caller hangs up.

•The maximum message length of about 1 minute or 5 minutes is reached.

•There are more than 7 seconds of silence.

The answering system can record up to about 29 minutes of incoming mes- sages on the supplied tape. If the tape reaches the end while a caller is leav- ing a message, the answering system beeps twice and hangs up.

If the incoming message tape is full, the answering system answers a call after 10 rings, plays back the outgoing message, then waits 7 seconds for the remote operation security code. If the correct code is not entered, the an- swering system beeps twice and

hangs up. See “Remote Control Oper- ation” on Page 17.

To have the answering system not an- swer calls, rotate VOLUME to OFF. The MESSAGE indicator turns off.

SETTING THE

RECORDING TIME

You can select the length of recording time for incoming messages. Slide REC TIME to 1 MIN to set the TAD to record for up to 1 minute for each message or to 5 MIN for up to 5 min- utes.

SETTING THE ANSWERING SYSTEM’S VOLUME

Adjusting the answering system’s VOLUME control sets the speaker vol- ume. (This does not affect the volume of the message the caller hears.)
