OutGoing Message – Main Greeting (Note: No Battery Backup is Needed)
Follow the setup on page 1 to assist you in recording your OGM. Note: If you record your own
personalized message, the pre-recorded announcement will be erased! Powered (speaker)
phones make the best-recorded sound. You can repeat your recording as many times as you need until
you get it just right. Your announcement (OGM) can be as long or as short as you want up to 45
seconds. The purpose of the statement “we do not accept telemarketing calls and please put us on your
do not call list” is to inform your uninvited caller that he should not attempt to call you again and is
legally binding. Review the following example:
(Pre-recorded) Hello, if you know your party’s
extension, enter it at any time. The number you’ve reached does not accept telemarketing
calls or blocked numbers. Please unblock your number and try again
. Also, you can inform
your caller to “Start your fax now” during the main greeting if you want to auto route fax calls.

How PrivacyCall Operates
Initially, when a caller calls in, he will hear your greeting, and if he knows your Privacy code (extension
number), he can then enter it at anytime. However, if he is on the Invited callers list, his call will pass
straight through to the shared Phone and Modem Ports. Also, all the phones throughout your
home/office will continue to ring until the fifth ring then PrivacyCall hangs-up the call. If you have Call
Forwarding enabled at the PrivacyCall, then your caller will be forwarded as well. Out Of Area, Private
and Anonymous callers showing no phone number will be answered by the PrivacyCall for processing. If
someone unfamiliar with your system calls in, the PrivacyCall will first answer with the OGM
announcement and then ring-up your answering machine where he can leave a message on your answer
machine. Alternatively, if your caller has one of the privacy (access) codes, he can enter one of them
during the playing of the OGM and then cause your phones to ring. If you miss your Invited caller, your
combo phone-answer machine attached to Port 2 will take a message for you. If your caller hangs-up
during any part of the call, so will PrivacyCall to await another call. With Call Forwarding feature enabled,
your caller will be first routed to your phone connected to the Phone Port where it will ring 3 times before
the second OGM (Call Forwarding Message) is announced. Thereafter, he will be connected by 3-Way
Calling to your cell phone or forwarded number.
Automatic Caller ID Call Routing
Automatic call routing will begin to work right after the first call when Caller ID information is displayed.
Caller ID information is displayed on the front panel and simultaneously compared to the stored numbers
you have entered, then routes the incoming calls accordingly. All Invited callers will continue to ring your
phones, but blocked callers will be hung-up on.
