When you are setting up the system, there are a few basic principles to be aware of.
Menus
The system works via a series of menus—the display offers you a number of options, to be selected by pressing
a button. When you press a button, you may see another menu, inviting you to choose a further option. When
you first switch the system on, the display shows software version followed by the size of installed memory.
After a period of 10 seconds, by default, the display shows port status. By pressing the # button a tone is
played , (this tone indicates that the announcement for port 1 has not been recorded) followed by ‘pips’ to
indicate that you have the Initial Menu, which looks like this:
What this means is that you can press:
1 to record or re-record an announcement
2 to play an announcement
3 to set to play, select and assign an announcement to line.
# to see the 2nd menu
* sets port 1 to answer calls with the number of calls received default display.
Note: the announcement for port 1 is played for confirmation before the default display.
Pressing * again will force it to go to the number of calls received default display without
waiting for the end of the announcement.
Function displays When you have pressed a button to select a function from the menu, the display
may prompt you to enter some data.
If you need to enter an announcement number, etc., the display offers you a default value—usually the
lowest possible one, e.g. Announcement 1. The number you can change now is blinking to indicate that you
can press a new digit. Alternatively, if you want to accept the value shown, just press the # button. If the
number you enter is invalid the announcer will offer a corrected value or ignore it and wait for you to press
a valid digit.
After a time out period of 30 seconds, by default, the display shows the port status or time and date with the
number of calls received, then by pressing the # button the currently assigned announcement is played. Press the
# button again to return to the Initial Menu. Pressing the # button yet again will give you the 2nd Menu. While
the 2nd menu is shown, pressing the # button again will show the port status abbreviations then pressing # again
puts port 1 into the standby mode ready to take calls with the status of all ports displayed; alternatively, you
may press the * button to return to the Initial Menu.
Enter current time in 24 hour format.
