3.3Setting the number of rings

To control the duration before the AM880 answers a call, slide the switch on the AM880’s rear side to the desired number of rings (2, 6, or TS).

TS (Toll Saver) – If you choose the Toll Saver option, and there are new messages, the AM880 answers after two rings. Otherwise, the AM880 answers after six rings. This lets you avoid unnecessary charges when calling by long distance to check your messages. If you hear more than two rings, you know you can hang up because the AM880 has no new messages.

4 Answering system operation

4.1General operation

The maximum length for each incoming messages is 5 minutes. If the caller speaks for longer, a signal tone sounds and the call will be cut off. If there is a pause of more than 7 seconds during recording, the call is automatically terminated with a signal tone. No more calls will be answered if the memory capacity for new messages is exhausted and the message MEMORY FULL will appear in the display. If memory is full, the AM880 cannot record new messages until you delete the old messages. See “Deleting Messages” section.

4.2Using the announce-only feature

Your AM880’s announce-only feature lets you make an announcement for the caller, then, it hangs up without letting the caller leave a message. This is ideal for business use where you need to make an announcement to callers but do not want to record messages.

To select announce-only mode, slide ANS/ANNC ONLY to ANNC ONLY. When the AM880 receives a call, it plays the announce-only message and sounds 3 beeps. If the remote code has not been entered within 16 seconds, the AM880 will hang up.

Note: You can use remote commands to perform all operations.

To turn off the announce-only feature, slide ANS/ANNC ONLY to ANS on the back of the machine.
