ANSWERING SYSTEM OPERATION

At the Base

Answering Calls

When you’ve selected Announcement A or B and turned the system on, the caller hears the announcement you recorded, followed by a beep. During the announce- ment, callers can press 1 or 2 to select a mailbox, or they can wait for the beep to leave a message in Mailbox 1. A caller can leave a message up to 3 minutes long. If the message is longer than 3 minutes, or if the caller is silent for more than 7 seconds, or if the system runs out of memory, the system beeps once and hangs up.

If you’ve selected Announcement AO, callers hear your announcement. If a caller doesn’t enter a mailbox number before the announcement ends, the system plays to the end of the announcement, then hangs up. (If you want a caller to be able to leave a message when announcement is set to AO, instruct him or her to press # or a mailbox number while the announcement is playing.)

If the system if OFF and the phone rings, the call will be answered after 10 rings and the caller will hear "The machine is off." If the system is ON and the memory is full, the call will also be answered after 10 rings. The caller will hear "Memory is full." Remote access commands to change the ON/OFF status are explained in "ANSWERING SYSTEM OPERATION–From Cordless Handset or Touch Tone Phone."

Call Screening/Intercept

Set the system to answer calls, and set the volume control so you can hear the caller’s message.

If you decide to take the call, press Pon the handset or Kon the base.

If you pick up an extension phone during the announcement and the announce- ment does not stop right away, press and release the telephone switchhook or press

Son the base.

Announcement Bypass

You might want to let frequent callers know they can press #on a touch tone phone when they hear your announcement begin. The system then stops playing your an- nouncement and beeps so that the caller can immediately begin recording a message.
