52 LINGO TECHNICIAN’S GUIDE
Protecting Lingo’s data
Lingo’s eight AA batteries provide the power
to store the voice messaging system’s files
during a power outage. Lingo automatically
monitors battery voltage, and when the
batteries need to be changed, it notifies
the system manager in four ways:
• By emitting a short alarm every four
seconds until the batteries are changed
• By flashing all of Lingo’s LEDs on and off
in unison
• By warning the system manager at the
beginning of the system manager’s
conversation
• By sending a message to the Operator
mailbox
Change the batteries as soon as Lingo indi-
cates they are low to prevent the loss of
valuable data.
Lingo also provides a method to archive
the database so that you can restore cus-
tomized settings if there is a power outage
and the batteries fail. You can set up Lingo
to check the database daily and archive it
when either of the following conditions
occurs:
• Any subscribers have been added or
deleted.
• Any system options have been changed.
Lingo automatically restores the archived
database when it restarts. Restoring the
database takes about five minutes.
