Two-Digit Message Counter Display
When new calls are received, the PMP-3880 will count the calls and messages
separately.
1. When new Caller IDs are saved in memory the new call counter in the
handset display will increase by one.
2. When new messages are recorded the message counter on the base will
increase by one.
The counter display also shows various information about the answering
machine and the status of the commands given it:
ANSWERING SYSTEM OPERATION
Setting the Announce Mode
There are three different answering modes that the PMP-3880 can be set to:
normal answering mode, answer only mode, and answer off.
Setting the Answering System Off:
When the answering machine is set off, the answering system will not pick up
until the phone rings 10 times, and then only to allow for remote operation. The
caller will not hear an announcement and will not be able to leave a message.
1. Press the key to turn the answering machine on. The system will
announce “Answering Machine is On.” The ANS ON/OFF LED will light.
2. Press the key again to turn the answering machine off. The system will
announce “Answering Machine is Off.”
Setting to Normal Answering Mode:
Make sure that the answering machine is on.
The ANS ON/OFF LED will be lit. Locate the
ICM/ANNC switch on the base bottom.
Make sure the switch is set to “ICM.”
When set to “ICM,” the PMP-3880 will play
your announcement, and then allow the
caller to leave a message on any of the five
available mailboxes.
Note: Incoming messages are limited to a maximum of 2 minutes. Once the
message exceeds 2 minutes, the system beeps three times and discon-
nects the call. If the system memory is exceeded, “Memory full” is
announced and the call is disconnected.
Setting to Announce Only Answering Mode:
Make sure that the answering machine is on. The ANS ON/OFF LED will be lit.
1. Locate the ICM/ANNC switch on the base bottom.
2. Set the switch to “ANNC.” The message counter will display “Ao.”
3. Record your Announce Only announcement by following the same steps
under “Recording an Announcement for the Primary Mailbox” on page 45.
When set to “ANNC,” the PMP-3880 will play your announcement, and then
disconnect the call. The caller is unable to leave any messages.
Note: If you have not recorded an announcement only greeting, while in this
mode the system will simply answer “Memory Full” and then hang up.
