Answering Calls
When ANNC SELECT is set to A or B, and the system answers a call, the caller hears the announcement you recorded, followed by a beep. During the announcement, callers can press 1, 2, 3, or 4 to select a mailbox, or they can wait for the beep to leave a message in Mailbox 1. After the beep, the system begins recording your caller’s message. A caller can leave a 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.
If ANNC SELECT is set to 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.
Frequent callers can skip over your announcement by pressing #.
Ring Select/Toll Saver
Use the RING SELECT switch on the right side of the system to select how many times the line will ring before the system answers a call. Set to 2 for two rings, set to 4 for four rings, or set to TS for Toll Saver. When you set the system to TS, the system answers after four rings when you have no new messages, and after two rings when you have new messages.
Message Window
The Message Window displays the number of messages that have been recorded. If the Message Window displays F, then the memory is full and you’ll need to delete messages before new ones can be recorded. If the Message Window displays AO, the system is set to Announcement Only.
Mailbox Lights

The MBOX light for a mailbox blinks when you have new messages in that mailbox, and remains steady when you have messages that you’ve already played. The MBOX light is off when there are no messages in the mailbox.
Audible Message Alert
If you want the system to beep once every 15 seconds to notify you that new messages have been received, set the MSG ALERT switch, located on the right side of the system, to ON.
