User's Manual Part 2
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.

messages, speak directly into the MICROPHONE from a distance of 9 to
12 inches.
It is recommended that you record an OGM on your PRIMARY MAILBOX instructing
a caller to leave an ICM in one of the four mailboxes. If the caller is using a Touchtone
telephone, this will enable the caller to record an ICM directly into one of the four
mailboxes by dialing “11” for MAILBOX 1, “22” for MAILBOX 2, “33” for MAILBOX 3,
“44” for MAILBOX 4.
Example of a Primary OGM: “Hello, please leave a message after the tone, or if you are
using a Touchtone telephone, please Dial 11 for Beth, Dial 22 for Jenny, Dial 33 for
Jonathan, Dial 44 for Esson.”
NOTE: To check your OGM, press the button. If you did not record an OGM, your
Answering System will announce, “You have no announcement.”
