Time Of Day Mode (TOD) - Programmable Time Feature Introduction

During a certain time of the day or night you can set the PrivacyCall to enter into TOD Mode. This mode

is designed to make all calls go to the answer machine when it is enabled, either on a one time or daily

basis. If you run a business, then you would use this mode for after hours so all callers can leave a

message. If your work or dinner times are different from regularly scheduled times, you would use this

mode so that you can get your sleep or to completely avoid disruptive callers.

To enable the TOD Mode, you must first understand military time presented here. The clock on the

PrivacyCall display converts the telephone company’s supplied clock data into either AM or PM time. If

the morning hours are 1:00am = 0100 hours, 2:00am = 0200 hours, etc. until noon = 1200 hours and

then the afternoon hours are 1:00pm = 1300 hours, 2:00pm = 1400 hours, etc. until midnight = 2400

hours. So, to set a time for a business after hours beginning in the early evening until the next morning

or 5:00pm to 8:00am you would use the military time of 1700 and 0800 as the two numbers for your

TOD settings. To set a time for dinner in the evening from 6:00pm to 8:00pm you would use the times

of 1800 and 2000. To set a time for early morning until lunch time or 1:00am to 12:00pm you would use

0100 and 1200.

Time Of Day Mode – Programming (Code 530)

Using military time as shown above, set this feature on by entering programming with ## then enter

530 <Beep> then your beginning time of day (Ex. 1700, 5:00pm from example above) hear

<Beep><Beep>. Next enter 531 <Beep> then your ending time of day (Ex. 0800, 8:00am from

example above) hear <Beep><Beep>. The Port 3 Green LED will flash every 30 seconds to indicate the

Time Of Day period is enabled once the LCD clock arrives at your Beginning Time of Day. Entering 530

and the beginning time of day you originally entered will turn this feature OFF and you will hear

<Beep><Beep>.

After the time sequence expires, the PrivacyCall TOD will be reset to allow calls through normally. To

start-up the time period again, re-enter either these same settings or new ones. Entering code 532 will

enable the Time of Day Period to remain in effect from day to day. If the clock has not been initialized

by the Caller ID you will need to call into the PrivacyCall to start it up, otherwise a BUZZ will indicate that

there is no CID clock settings. If there is a power outage, all of the program settings remain intact, but

the Caller ID display will be cleared of all data. After power comes back on, the first call into the

PrivacyCall will resume the Time Of Day feature.

Time Of Day Mode - Urgent Call Notification

When using the TOD function, Invited, Blocked and Unfamiliar callers will be directed to your answer

machine. However, in case of an emergency, you can give special callers a method of ringing your

phone. When the answer machine answers the call, your caller can make your phone ring in Port 2 by

entering # * 2 (or the access code you assigned for Port 2). You can keep this transfer code a secret or

describe it to your caller in your answer machine message. For example, “If you have an urgent call and

need to speak to someone right now, please enter # * 2, otherwise please leave a message”. If your

caller enters this code, your phone in port 2 will ring and if call forwarding is enabled, your caller will be

forwarded as well.

Note: Additional phones or devices off-hook on the line or poor line conditions can

prevent call transfer tones from working.
