User's Manual

NOTE: To check your OGM in a mailbox, press a mailbox button and then press the

button. If you do not have an OGM in a mailbox, it will announce “MAILBOX #, you have

no announcement.” Once a mailbox is activated, its corresponding MAILBOX LED

indicator blinks slowly to show that the mailbox is active. If you do not press a button to

activate another function within 10 seconds, the Answering System will return to the

PRIMARY MAILBOX. You may return to the PRIMARY MAILBOX at anytime by

pressing the button.

Turning the Answering System ON/OFF

1. Press the button to turn ON the Answering System. You will hear the following

message, “Answering machine is ON.”

2. Press the button again to turn OFF the Answering System. You will now hear the

following, “Answering machine is OFF.”

NOTE: Once turned OFF, the answer function will answer only after the tenth ring, allowing

you to turn the Answering System ON from a remote location.

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” 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

ANNC but will not record any ICMs.

1. Set the ANNC/ICM select switch to ANNC. The LED Message Display shows “Ao.”

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

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.

4. One second after completing your ANNC, release the button and you will hear,

“End of recording.” Your recorded ANNC will be played back for your approval.

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

have not recorded an ANNC, the Answering System will answer “Memory full” and

hangs up.
