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. 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.
Callers can skip over your announcement by pressing #.
Message Window
The Message Window displays the number of messages that have been recorded. If there are more than nine messages recorded, the Message Window alternately displays the two digits of the total number of messages 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.
PLAY Light
The PLAY light blinks when you have new messages, and remains steady when you have messages in memory that you’ve already played. The PLAY light is off when there are no messages in memory.
Call Screening/Intercept
Set the system to answer calls, and set the volume control so you can hear the caller’s message. If you choose not to hear the caller’s message, adjust the volume to the lowest setting. The Message Window displays 0.
If you decide to take the call, lift the handset of any telephone on the same line. The system stops recording and resets to answer calls.
