VIP Alert Tone

The system lets you store up to ten phone numbers in its VIP call list. Whenever some- one calls from one of those ten numbers, if you subscribe to Caller ID, the system will sound an alert tone (single beep) in between incoming phone rings to indicate that a VIP call is coming in. This alert tone continues until the call is answered. The system sounds an alert tone (double beep) every 15 seconds to remind the user that some VIP messages in VIP mailboxes have not been reviewed.

SETTING THE SYSTEM TO ANSWER CALLS

Setto 1 or 5 to select 1 minute or 5 minutes as the maximum length of incoming messages. To set the system to answer calls, press ANSWER ON/OFF. The

indicator turns on.

To set the system so it does not answer calls, press ANSWER ON/OFF so the ANSWER ON/ OFF indicator turns off.

When there is an incoming call, 9Wbb[hý?: ap- pears when the system is on. The outgoing message plays after the system answers, then the system beeps and begins recording. The caller can leave a message of up to 1 or 5 minutes in length, depending on the setting of 1/5/ANNC ONLY. After the call (when the caller hangs up, or there is silence for more than seven seconds, or the recording maxi- mum message length), the system hangs up and resets to answer the next call. The New Call indicator flashes to indicate the system recorded a new incoming message.

Note:

The system supports a maximum of 92 incoming messages and outgoing mes- sages.

If the system’s memory reaches its max- imum capacity while a caller is leaving a message, the system stops recording, beeps and then hangs up. If the system receives a call when its memory is full, it answers after ten rings and plays “No one is available to take your call”, waits for any remote operation commands, then hangs up. The system cannot record additional messages until you delete at least some of the old ones (See “Deleting Voice Messages” on Page 5).

If you want to record an OGM, memo or two-way phone conversation when its memory is full, the system announces “Memory is full”.

Many local phone companies use calling party control (CPC) to signal that the caller has hung up. Your system can rec- ognize a CPC signal and release the line. If the system records phone com- pany messages or dial tones, your local phone company probably does not use CPC.

Using the Announce-Only Feature

Your system’s announce-only feature lets you play a message for the caller then auto- matically hang up without letting the caller leave a message.

To select announce-only, set 1/5/ANNC ONLY to ANNC ONLY. When the system receives a call, it plays the announce-only message and displays the Caller ID. After the announce- ment, the system sounds 5 beeps, and stays on line for 10 seconds so you can enter the remote operation security if necessary.

If the system receives no code within ten seconds, the system hangs up and resets to answer the next call. To turn off announce- only, set 1/5/ANNC ONLY to either 1 or 5.

Notes:

When the system is set for announce- only, you cannot set it to record calls using the remote commands.

You can still use remote commands to perform all operations.

The system always answers on the sec- ond ring except when the memory is full.

1.Hold down 2 WAY/MEMO. After the beep, speak clearly into the microphone from about ten inches in front of the system.
