To turn the answering machine on/off,
1. Press during standby mode. The 7-segment LCD displays On if the
answering machine is activated or Of if the answering machine is
deactivated.
The 7-segment LCD will be on when the answering machine is turned on.
When the answering machine is on, it will answer the call after a certain
number of rings depending on the ring delay setting (See page 25 for
adjusting the ring delay setting). After answering the call, the answering
machine will play the outgoing message (OGM) and record an incoming
message (ICM) if any.
When the answering machine is off, it will not answer the incoming calls.
However, if the incoming call continues to ring, it will pick up the call after
16 rings for the caller to enter the security PIN for remote access. If the
caller does not enter the security PIN in 8 seconds, the call will be
dropped. If you want to turn on the answering machine now, press 8
during remote access.
Outgoing messages (OGM)
The answering machine announces the OGM when it answers the call.
There is a default OGM. You can also record your own OGM.
The default OGM is:
“Hello, your call cannot be taken at the moment, so please leave your
message after the tone.”
When you record your own OGM, it will be used when the answering
machine answers the call. If your own OGM is deleted, the default OGM
will be restored automatically.
NOTE: The answering machine can only record an incoming
message when there is enough memory. Memory is full when there
are already 60 messages recorded or the recorded messages have
taken up all the memory available. When memory is full, the 7-
segment LCD will blink the symbol FU.
