IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR MOVING THE ANSWERER:

To move the answerer to a different location in the house, follow these instructions:

1.Disconnect the phone line or any phones you may have connected to the unit.

3.Go to the electrical outlet and unplug the power supply. DO NOT UNPLUG THE POWER JACK CONNECTED TO THE UNIT. If you do, all memory will be erased.

4.Move the unit and phone line to the desired location.

5.Plug in the power supply into an electrical outlet.

6.The MESSAGES indicator shows that the messages have not been erased.

7.Connect all necessary phone lines.

SETUP

RECORDING THE GREETING

Before using your new answerer, you should record a greeting (the announcement callers hear when your answering system answers a call). If you don't record a greeting, callers hear a default greeting which says, "After tone, record message."

When recording the greeting you should be about 6 inches from the unit. Eliminate as much background noise as possible.

1.Prepare your greeting.

Sample Greeting: Hi, this is (use your name here). I can’t answer the phone right now, so please leave your name, number, and a brief message after the tone, and I’ll get back to you. Thanks.

2.Hold down the GREETING button. Record after the tone.

3.Release GREETING when you finish.

To review the greeting, press and release GREETING.

To return to the answerer's default greeting after you've recorded one, press GREETING and release it when you hear the tone, or press erase when the greeting is playing.
