ANSWERING SYSTEM OPERATION: At the Base

Answering Calls and Recording Messages

When the system is ON and the phone begins ringing, the system will answer the call at the number of rings specified in Ring Select. The caller hears the announcement you recorded followed by a single beep. After the beep, the system begins recording your caller’s message. While the system is taking a call, “— —” will be displayed in the Message Counter. Recording continues until 7 seconds of silence occurs or the maximum message time is reached, at which point the system will stop recording, and the Message Counter display will be increased by one.

If the system is 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 AWAY FROM BASE.”

Screening and Intercepting Incoming Calls

To screen calls, make sure you have set your system to an appropriate volume level so you can hear the caller’s voice.

If you decide to take a call, press on the handset and talk to the caller.

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