few seconds for remote operation commands, then hangs up. The system cannot record additional messages until you delete at least some of the old ones (see “Deleting Messages” on Page 30).
•Many local phone companies use calling party control (CPC) to signal that the caller has hung up. Your answering system can recognize a CPC signal and release the line. If the system records phone company messages or dial tones, your local phone company probably does not use CPC.
Using the Announce-Only Feature
Your system's announce-only feature lets you set the system to play a message for the caller, then automatically hang up with- out letting the caller leave a message.
To select announce-only, set 1/5/ANN. ONLY to ANN. ONLY. When the system receives a call, it plays the announce-only message, then monitors the phone line, waiting for the remote operation security code. If the system receives no code within 7 seconds, the system hangs up and resets to answer the next call.
To use this feature, you must record an announce-only OGM. Set 1/5/ANN. ONLY to ANN. ONLY, then hold down ANNOUNCE. When the system beeps, speak clearly into the microphone from about 10 inches away. (The message can be as long as the remaining memory allows.) Release ANNOUNCE when you finish your message. The system automatically plays back your recorded message.
To turn off announce-only, set 1/5/ANN. ONLY to either 1 or 5.
