Battery Low Indicator
The Batt. Low LED will flash to indicate the three AAA
batteries (not included) need to be installed or replaced.
Power Failure Protection/Battery Back Up
If an AC power failure occurs, or the power plug comes
out of the wall, your unit will shut down until the power is
restored.
When the power is restored, any messages recorded
before the power failure will be saved IF YOU HAVE
INSTALLED THREE AAA BATTERIES. The message
indicator LED will flash to indicate the number of new
messages received and saved messages.
If your unit is not operating properly when the power is
restored, proceed with a unit reset.
To Reset Unit
1. Unplug the telephone line from the wall jack.
2. Unplug the AC adaptor from the power outlet.
3. Replace the AAA batteries with three fresh ones.
4. Plug the AC adaptor back into the power outlet.
5. Plug the telephone line back into the wall jack
6. Record a new outgoing greeting or you can use the
pre-recorded announcement.

Ring Select
You can select the number of rings in which a call will be
answered. Set the Ring Select switch (on the side of
unit) to 2 or 4 rings, or Toll Saver (TS).
Toll Saver (TS)
Your unit has a built-in automatic toll saving feature. This
feature lets you know if you have received any messages
before it answers, thus saving you on long distance costs.
How Toll Saver Works
IF YOU HAVE SET THE RING SELECT SWITCH TO
TOLL SAVER (TS), when calling your unit from a remote
location to check for messages, listen to the number of
rings:
No Messages Received
If your phone rings more than two times, you have no
new messages. You can hang up on the third ring before
your unit answers, and save the cost of the call.
Note: If no new messages are received, your unit will
answer the call after the fourth ring.
Messages Received
If your unit answers after only 2 rings, you have received
new messages, which you can then retrieve by following
the Remote Message Playback section, below.
