Answering mode
Take care that you provide enough recording capacity for incoming messages. If required, you may erase individual recorded
messages or all incoming messages.
Select the desired OGM by pressing the select button next
to the OGM symbol.
The selected OGM is displayed next to the symbol at the bottom
right side.
Press the button for the answering mode. The answering mode button is lit. If you selected an OGM “with-
out incoming recording”, a handset symbol and the number of in-
coming calls will be displayed. As for a selected OGM “with in-
coming recording”, you will also see the number of recorded in-
coming messages at the right side of the displayed handset sym-
bol. The number of calls shown in the display blinks when the
answering module picks up an incoming call.
If the caller's telephone number is being displayed during a call,
the display will show this telephone number instead. If the tele-
phone number in question matches with one of the telephone
numbers of the electronic telephone book, also the correspond-
ing name will be displayed.
Use the arrow buttons to adjust the volume (left/right). Call screening is possible for incoming messages. If you decide
to answer the call personally, you can do so at any time, by just
picking up the handset. If new incoming messages exist, the an-
swering button will blink.
Press the answering mode button again to deactivate the
answering mode.
Further incoming calls are not answered. The display resumes
the initial state. The answering mode button blinks as long as the
recorded messages have not been played back.
If the recording capacity should be exhausted, your Retell 340 automatically switches to OGM 5, but only if OGM 5 is an
OGM without incoming recording. If OGM 5 is with incoming recording, the device will switch the answering mode off and no
further incoming calls will be answered.
