Use Auto-Answer when you want the Minicom 6000 Plus to answer and take
messages when you are busy or away. For Auto-Answer to work, the Minicom
6000 Plus must be plugged directly into the telephone line.
How Auto-Answer Works
The Minicom 6000 Plus answers a call by sending the Relay Voice Announcer
message and your outgoing Auto-Answer Memo. See Using the Relay Voice
Announcer on page 35 for more information.
Your Auto-Answer Memo is a short text message which you save in the Memo
memory. You can choose any Memo you have saved as your outgoing Auto-
Answer message.
If the caller leaves a text telephone message, the Minicom 6000 Plus saves the
message, prints the message (if the printer is on) and displays the number of
messages received. The Minicom 6000 Plus hangs up after 45 seconds of silence.
NOTE: Auto-Answer does NOT record voice messages.
About Auto-Answer Memory
Auto-Answer memory has enough room for at least 100 short messages. The only
limit to the number of Auto-Answer messages that can be saved is the size of
Auto-Answer memory, which is 22,000 characters.
If the memory does fill up, MESSAGE MEMORY FULL is added to the last message
and no more messages are saved. The Minicom 6000 Plus will still answer the
telephone when memory is full if the printer is on. It will still count messages and
print them. If Auto-Answer memory fills up and the printer is off, the Minicom
6000 Plus stops answering calls.
