Follow these steps to record the out-
going message.
1. Rotate VOLUME toward HI until it
clicks. The red light turns on.
2. Lift open the cassette compart-
ment door.
3. Press and hold OGM REC/PLAY
until the red light turns off, then
release the button. The answering
system beeps once.
4. When the red light turns on again,
speak clearly in a normal volume
from about 12 inches away from
the microphone.
5. When you finish recording your
message, press OGM REC/PLAY
again. The red light turns off, then
the answering system beeps twice
and plays back the message.
The message is first saved on a digital
chip, and is then recorded onto the
cassette tape. Wait until the answer-
ing system plays back the message
before you continue installing your an-
swering system.
The answering system saves all infor-
mation, including the outgoing mes-
sage, on tape so it will be saved
during a power failure. When power is
restored after a power failure, the an-
swering system plays the tape auto-
matically to restore the outgoing
message to the digital chip.
Checking the Outgoing
Message
Press OGM REC/PLAY at any time to
hear the outgoing message. The an-
swering system beeps once and plays
back the message, then beeps twice.
To adjust the volume, see “Setting the
System’s Volume” on Page 13.
