ANSWERING SYSTEM OPERATION
SETTING THE ANSWERING SYSTEM TO ANSWER CALLS
Rotate VOLUME toward HI until it clicks. When the red light on the PLAY button stays on without the answering system sounding a tone, the system is ready to answer calls.
Illust.
The answering system hangs up and resets to answer the next call when:
•The caller hangs up.
•The maximum message length of about 60 seconds 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 ten rings, plays back the outgo- ing message, then waits 7 seconds for the remote operation security code. If the correct code is not entered, the answering 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 STOP. The red light turns off.
SETTING THE NUMBER OF RINGS
You can select the number of rings the answering system waits before it an- swers calls. Set 1.4.9.TOLL SAVER to the desired position.
Illust.
The system answers calls in 1, 4, or 9 rings, or if you set the switch to TOLL SAVER (the last position), the answer- ing system answers in four rings if no messages are saved or in two rings if you have messages. This feature can save you
Note: If you subscribe to Caller ID, do not set 1.4.9.TOLL SAVER to 1 (the first position), because Caller ID informa- tion is sent between the first and sec- ond rings.
