Answering System Setup  
Recording the Outgoing Announcement  
Before using your new answerer, you should record a greeting (the  
announcement callers hear when your answering system answers a call). If you  
don’t record a greeting, callers hear a default greeting which says, “We are not  
available to take your call. Please leave a message. Thank you for calling.”  
When recording the greeting you should be about 6 inches from the unit.  
Eliminate as much background noise as possible.  
1. Prepare your greeting.  
Sample Greeting: “Hi, this is (use your name here). I can’t answer the phone  
right now, so please leave your name, number, and a brief message after the  
tone, and I’ll get back to you. Thanks for calling.”  
2. Hold down the ANNOUNCE button. The unit announces “Record  
announcement after the tone,” and the screen displays TO RECORD. After  
the tone, you can record a 1 minute greeting (OGA) on the unit.  
3. Release ANNOUNCE when you finish.  
To review the greeting, press and release ANNOUNCE. The unit plays back  
your greeting automatically.  
11  
 
To return to the answerer’s default greeting after you’ve recorded one, press  
ANNOUNCE and release it when you hear the tone, or press and hold  
DELETE when the greeting is playing.  
Reviewing the Announcement  
Press and release the ANNOUNCE button to review your outgoing announcement.  
Telephone Operation  
Using the Speakerphone  
Speakerphone Location  
For best speakerphone performance, avoid the following:  
• Areas with high background noise. (The microphone might pick up these  
sounds and prevent the speakerphone from going into the receiving mode  
when you finish talking.)  
• Surfaces affected by vibration.  
• Recessed areas such as in a corner, under a cupboard, or next to a cabinet,  
which can generate an echo effect.  
Speakerphone Use  
Note the following guidelines when using the speakerphone:  
• The speakerphone works similar to a two-way radio in that you can only listen  
or talk at one time.  
• Stay reasonably close to the phone so that you can be clearly heard by the  
person to whom you are talking.  
You can adjust the speaker volume by pressing the VOL (+ or -) buttons.  
• The speakerphone indicator comes on when the speakerphone is in use.

company is known to be a valid number for dialing back (used only

automatically dialed.  
If You Programmed Your Local Area Code  
1. Use the SKIP or REPEAT buttons to display the number you want to dial.  
2. Press the DIAL button.  
• If you see a number with seven digits (i.e. 555-1234), then the call is from within  
your area code. However, this does not guarantee the call is a local call.  
• If you see a number with 11 digits (i.e. 1-234-555-1234), then the call is not from  
within your area code.  
Note: A timer (10 seconds on-hook and 3 seconds off-hook) located  
in the upper right side of the display will start, letting you know how  
much time is left until the unit returns to the Summary Screen.

number format by pressing the DIAL button. If the phone is off-hook and  
ADJUST shows in the display, you can adjust the phone number format by  
pressing the DIAL button. For example, sometimes a 7-digit local number  
cannot be dialed because it requires a 10-digit or 11-digit format. Press the  
DIAL button repeatedly to scroll through the 7, 10, and 11-digit numbers.  
7-digits:  
7-digit telephone number (i.e. 555-5555)  
10-digits: 3-digit area code + 7-digit telephone number (i.e. 425-555-5555)  
11-digits: long distance code 1 + 3-digit area code + 7-digit telephone  
number (i.e. 1-425-555-5555)  
4. To dial the displayed number, and the phone is on-hook, pick up the handset  
or press the SPEAKER button before the timer reaches 0. If the phone is off-  
hook, wait until the time reaches 0. The screen displays NOW DIALING and  
the number is dialed.  
If You Did Not Program Your Local Area Code

Answering System Operation  
Call Answering  
When a call comes in, the unit will ring the number of times set, play the greeting,  
and record the incoming call.  
You can:  
• Answer the call before the unit answers.  
• Pick up the phone during the greeting.  
• Listen to the incoming message (Call screening).  
• Pick up the phone during the incoming message, if desired.  
• Disconnect the caller by pressing the PLAY/STOP button.  
Auto Disconnect  
Auto disconnect is a feature that tells the unit to stop playing the greeting or  
recording when a extension phone is picked up. Sometimes you may pick up and  
the machine keeps playing the greeting. This is normal. If you want to pick up the  
phone during the greeting play, wait about two seconds after the system answers  
before picking up a phone.  
If the greeting continues to play after picking up an extension phone, press the  
PLAY/STOP button.  
3ꢀ  
 
Playing Messages  
Use the PLAY/STOP button to play messages. The unit first plays new messages  
in the order received. If there are no messages, the unit announces, “You have  
no messages.” If there are no new messages, the old messages are played  
back.  
When playing messages, the message number and the date-time stamp will be  
shown on the display.  
To play messages, press and release PLAY/STOP.  
To stop playback, press and release PLAY/STOP again.  
To restart the message that is playing, press the REPEAT button once.  
To replay the previous message, press the REPEAT button twice.  
To play the SKIP message, press and release SKIP.  
While playing message, user can press MESSAGE SPEED button to listen to  
message playback at a lower speed.  
Each press of the MESSAGE SPEED button change message playback speed.  
The screen displays current message speed.  
Erase Messages  
Single Messages  
You can erase a message itself, leaving the Caller ID information.  
• While the message is playing, press and release DELETE. The unit erases the  
current message and announces, “Message erased.”  
All Messages  
You can also erase all the old messages only, leaving the new messages and  
Caller ID information.  
While the unit is in ready-to-answer mode, press and hold DELETE until the unit  
announces, “Messages erased.”  
• New messages can not be erased in this way. To erase new messages, play  
them then press DELETE during play back.  
33  
 
Leaving a Memo  
Use the MEMO button to record a specific message for others who have access  
to the unit.  
1. Press and hold the MEMO button. The unit announces, “Record your memo  
after the tone.”  
2. Record your message after the beep.  
3. Release MEMO when you’re finished talking. The unit treats the memo as a  
message, as the display shows.  
Memory Full  
When the unit’s memory is full, it answers after 10 rings and announces,  
“Memory is full.” A 20-second waiting period follows, allowing you to enter your  
security code.  
Remote Access  
You can access your answerer from any touch-tone phone from another location  
by entering your 3-digit security code (the default security code is 1 2 3, but you  
can change it.) Be aware that remote functions do not work with rotary or push-  
button pulse-dialing phones.  
To access your answerer:  
1. Call your telephone number.  
2. After you hear the beep that follows the greeting, enter your 3-digit security  
code. The unit confirms your code with a beep. To bypass the greeting, you  
can enter your 3-digit security code any time while the greeting is playing.  
The unit waits for a remote command for 20 seconds after the correct security  
code has been entered. Menu selections can be made while the menu is playing.  
Note: The unit answers on the 10th ring when it is turned off or the  
memory is full. To access the answerer, enter the 3-digit security  
code after the beep. If memory is full, play messages and erase  
some of them to restore memory.  
3ꢁ  
 
Note: After the unit plays the remote menu, it waits ꢀ0 seconds for a  
command, then disconnects.
