5.When you finish recording your message, press OGM REC/PLAY again. The red light turns off, then the answering system beeps twice and plays back the message.

The message is first saved on a digital chip, and is then recorded onto the cassette tape. Wait until the answer- ing system plays back the message before you continue installing your an- swering system.

The answering system saves all infor- mation, including the outgoing mes- sage, on tape so it will be saved during a power failure. When power is restored after a power failure, the an- swering system plays the tape auto- matically to restore the outgoing message to the digital chip.

Checking the Outgoing Message

Press OGM REC/PLAY at any time to hear the outgoing message. The an- swering system beeps once and plays back the message, then beeps twice.

To adjust the volume, see “Setting the System’s Volume” on Page 13.
