Message transfer
For the message transfer, the answering machine always dials a stored destination number after having recorded 1 to 5 incoming
messages (see message collection). When the called party answers the call, the following announcement is heard:
“Automatic call, x messages, please perform a remote interrogation. I repeat...” or if you programmed your own telephone number
as an identification number “Automatic call from ... (own telephone number), x messages, please perform a remote interrogation. I
repeat...”.
During the announcement you have the option to start the remote interrogation. For pager numbers, (e.g. Cityruf, Scall) this auto-
matic announcement will not be played. If the target telephone number is busy, the device will redial up to three times every 3
minutes. If the called party does not perform a remote interrogation within the programmed waiting time (5 to 60 minutes), the an-
swering machine will dial the programmed destination number again as a reminder. If no remote interrogation is performed, your
Retell 340 will repeat the reminder process once, twice or not at all (depending on the programmed default value).
