Activating the answering machine

Activate the answering machine before you go out as follows:

 

 

Press the RECEPTION MODE key one

 

 

or two times to set the reception mode to

T.A.D.

MODE FUNCTION

RESOLUTION

Each outgoing message will play (you

 

 

 

 

can stop playback by pressing the

 

 

STOP key).

If no general outgoing message has been recorded, an alarm will sound and the reception mode will change to TEL. Record a general outgoing message as described in "Answering Machine Set-up" in Chapter 2.

Note: If the memory is full from messages previously recorded, MEMORY IS FULL will appear in the display. To set the reception mode to T.A.D., you must first erase some or all of the stored messages.

When the reception mode is set to T.A.D., the FO-1650/1850 will answer incoming calls after two rings if it has received at least one incoming message, or after four rings if no messages are received. (For more information, see "Toll Saver" in "Remote Operations" in this chapter.)

Note: In T.A.D. mode, the machine will automatically switch to fax reception if it de- tects a period of silence longer than six seconds after answering a call. For this reason, if a caller pauses for this length of time while leaving a mes- sage, they will be cut off.

Listening to received messages

When you return, the display will show the number of messages recorded in each box. Listen to them as follows:

1

Press the PLAY/SKIP key.

PLAY/SKIP

If you only want to listen to new messages (messages not previously listened to), continue to hold the PLAY/SKIP key down for at least two seconds.
