4.Set your answering machine to answer after two or more rings. This gives the system time to record the call information that the phone company sends between the first and second rings.

MOUNTING THE SYSTEM

You can set the system flat on a desk, shelf, or table or use the sup- plied mounting bracket to set the system at an angle. You can also use the bracket to mount the system to a wall.

Attaching the Mounting Bracket

1.Align the keyhole slots on the bottom of the system with the hooks on the mounting bracket.

2.Gently push the bracket up into the system to secure it.

To remove the bracket from the system, press up from the bottom of the system until the bracket snaps off.

Mounting on Wall

To mount the system on the wall, you need two screws (not sup- plied) with heads larger than the keyhole slots on the back of the mounting bracket.

SETTING THE TIME

The time and date are set with your first incoming Caller ID and up- dated with every new call. To toggle between 12- or 24-hour time formats, repeatedly press DELETE while the system is not in use.

RECEIVING AND STORING CALLS

Caller ID is a service provided by your telephone company. When you subscribe to this service, the telephone company sends the call- er’s telephone number (and name, if available) and the call’s date and time between the first and second rings. The system receives and displays this information for each call and updates the display with the current date and time. Your system saves up to 79 call records, then replaces the oldest call record with each new one. Re- peat calls are stored separately, instead of all on the same record.

During an incoming call, the red new call indicator flashes quickly while the phone is ringing, then the number of new and total calls ap- pear. The indicator flashes slowly until all calls are reviewed.

REVIEWING CALL RECORDS

Each time you receive a call, the system saves a call record in mem- ory that you can see while you are on the phone, or review later. Each call record includes the time and date of the call, the call num- ber (order in which the call is received), the caller’s telephone num- ber, and the caller’s name (if available).

To scroll through the call records, repeatedly press (or hold down) either REVIEW key.

Notes:

• If no call information is stored, -NO CALL- appears when you

press either REVIEW key.

1.Drill two holes 17/16 inches (37 mm) apart at the mounting location. Thread a screw into each hole, letting the heads extend about 1/8 inch (3mm) from the mounting surface.

2.Attach the mounting bracket to the system (see “Attaching the Mounting Bracket”).
