ANSWERING SYSTEM OPERATION

Answering Calls

When the system answers a call, the caller hears the announcement you recorded followed by a beep. After the beep, the system begins recording your caller’s message, up to three minutes long. If the message is longer than three minutes, or if the caller is silent for more than seven seconds, or if the system runs out of memory, the system beeps once and hangs up.

Turning the System On and Off

The L1 and L2 lights indicate which lines the system is set to answer. To choose which line(s) the system will answer, or to turn the system off, press Orepeatedly. This turns the lines on and off in the following order: Line 1 only; Line 2 only; Both lines on; Entire system off.

NOTE: When Answering System is turned off, no answering system or Call Match features can be used.

Volume Control

Press Vto increase the volume, or vto decrease volume. The eight volume settings are 0 (off) to 7. The default setting is 5. The system beeps to let you know you’ve reached the highest or lowest volume setting.

If you set the volume to 0 and then press Pto play back messages, the volume is reset to 2.

Call Screening/Intercept

Set the system to answer calls, and set the volume control so you can hear the caller’s message. (If you set the volume to 0, you will be unable to hear callers.)

If you decide to take the call, pick up any phone on the same line as the incoming call. If you pick up the phone during the announcement and the announcement does not stop right away, press and release the telephone switchhook, or press Pon the system.

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 announcement and beeps so the caller can immediately begin recording a message.
