SETTING THE NUMBER OF RINGS

Set RING TIME on the side of the base to 3, 5, or TS to select how long the answering sys- tem waits to answer a call (3 rings, 5 rings, or toll-saver).

Note: If you plan to check messages by long distance, set RING TIME to TS (see “Using the Toll-Saver” on Page 27).

SETTING THE DAY/TIME

You must set the day of the week and time so the answering system can record the cor- rect day and time of each message.

Note: Enter each key press within about 2 minutes. Otherwise, the answering system exits the time setting process and you must begin again with Step 1.

1.Hold down CLOCK on the base until the answering system beeps. The answer- ing system announces the currently set

day of the week and displays the day’s number (& for Sunday, ' for Monday, and so on).

2.To change the day, repeatedly press SKIP on the base to move forward or RE- PEAT on the base to move backward un- til the correct day appears, then press CLOCK. The answering system an- nounces the hour.

3.To change the hour, repeatedly press SKIP or REPEAT until the correct hour appears, then press CLOCK. The an- swering system announces the minutes.

4.To change the minutes, repeatedly press SKIP or REPEAT until the correct minutes appear, then press CLOCK. The answering system announces “AM” or “PM,” and 7 or F appears.

5.To switch between the AM and PM set- ting, press SKIP or REPEAT, then press CLOCK. The answering system beeps and announces the day and time.

To check the day and time, press CLOCK. The answering system announces the cur- rently set day and time.

Note: If power fails, the clock retains the cur- rent time. When the power is restored, it starts counting again from the time the power failed.

SETTING AUTO TALK

Your phone is preset so you must press TALK to answer a call. With auto talk turned on, you can answer a call by lifting the hand- set from the base or, if the handset is away from the base, by pressing any key.

Follow these steps to turn auto talk on or off.

1.Lift the handset and press FUNC. The Caller ID setup menu appears on the display with auto talk selected.

2.Press SELECT/CH to change the auto talk setting. Ed or E\\ appears indicating the selected setting.

3.To clear the display when you finish, press FUNC or return the handset to the base.

TURNING CALLER ID/CALL WAITING ON OR OFF

If you have Call Waiting and Caller ID ser- vice, you can set the answering system to show Caller ID information for an incoming call even while you are on the phone.
