Setting to Answer Calls

The ANSWER ON/OFF LED indicator must be ON for the Answering System to answer calls.

Depending on the setting of the ANNC/ICM switch, the Answering System will either hang up

after your announcement (ANNC) or begin to record your caller’s messages (ICM). After the

caller leaves an ICM, the time and day will be stamped at the end of each recorded ICM. The

ICM is stored in the MEMORY and the LED Message Display shows the total number of ICMs

currently stored.

NOTE: ICMs are limited to a maximum of 2 minutes. If the ICM is more than 2 minutes, the

system “beeps” twice and hangs up; or if the Answering System’s memory runs out, the

Answering System announces, “Memory full,” and hangs up.

Setting to Announce Only

During ANNC (Announce) mode, your system answers incoming calls with your recorded

announcement but will not record any ICMs.

1. Set the ANNC/ICM select switch to ANNC.

2. Press and hold down the button to record your announcement.

3. Begin speaking after you hear, “Please record your announcement after the beep.” Do not

release the button until you have completed your announcement OGM.

NOTE: Your OGM must be at least 3 seconds and no more than 30 seconds in length.

4. Release the button one second after your announcement is completed, and the LED

Message Display will show “ ”.

NOTE: If you have not recorded an announcement for ANNC mode, even if the switch is set

to ANNC mode, the Answering System will automatically operate in ICM mode and

will record all ICMs.

Screening Incoming Calls

The Answering System allows you to listen to a caller leaving an ICM. Once the Answering

System starts answering a call, press the button (or pick up any extension telephone on

the same line), the Answering System will stop recording and you may converse with your caller.

Message Alert

When the message alert switch is “ON,” the unit will generate a “beep” sound every 15

seconds after a new message has been recorded. If you do not want to hear the “beep,” set the

switch to the OFF position.

Setting Ring Select

To choose the number of times the phone rings before the Answering System responds, set the

Ring Select switch to 3R, 5R, or TS (TOLL SAVER).

Set to 3R - System answers call after the third ring.

Set to 5R - System answers call after the fifth ring.

Set to TS - Use “TOLL SAVER” (TS) when you will be checking your system for message

from a remote location using long distance services or from a pay phone. The

Answering System responds on the third ring only if you have new message

waiting. If there are no new messages, the phone will answer after the fifth ring.

You can hang up on the fourth ring to avoid paying for the call.
