OGM recorded, its indicator flashes.

VIP Alert Tone

The system lets you store up to ten phone
numbers in its VIP call list. Whenever some-
one calls from one of those ten numbers, if
you subscribe to Caller ID, the system will
sound an alert tone (single beep) in between
incoming phone rings to indicate that a VIP
call is coming in. This alert tone continues
until the call is answered. The system sounds
an alert tone (double beep) every 15 seconds
to remind the user that some VIP messages
in VIP mailboxes have not been reviewed.

To disable the VIP alert feature of incoming
call and new message, hold down VIP for 3
seconds and the display shows the current
setting of VIP alert. If

matically exits after 15 seconds without any

SETTING THE SYSTEM TO
ANSWER CALLS

Set

1/5/ANNC ONLY

to select 1

minute or 5 minutes as the maximum length
of incoming messages. To set the system to
answer calls, press

ANSWER ON/OFF

. The

ANSWER ON/OFF

indicator turns on.

To set the system so it does not answer calls,
press

ANSWER ON/OFF

so the

ANSWER ON/

OFF

indicator turns off.

When there is an incoming call,

9Wbb[hý?:

ap-

pears when the system is on. The outgoing
message plays after the system answers,
then the system beeps and begins recording.
The caller can leave a message of up to 1 or
5 minutes in length, depending on the setting
of

1/5/ANNC ONLY

. After the call (when the

caller hangs up, or there is silence for more
than seven seconds, or the recording maxi-
mum message length), the system hangs up
and resets to answer the next call. The New
Call indicator flashes to indicate the system
recorded a new incoming message.

Note:

• The system supports a maximum of 92

incoming messages and outgoing mes-
sages.

• If the system’s memory reaches its max-

imum capacity while a caller is leaving a
message, the system stops recording,
beeps and then hangs up. If the system
receives a call when its memory is full, it
answers after ten rings and plays “No
one is available to take your call”, waits
for any remote operation commands,
then hangs up. The system cannot
record additional messages until you
delete at least some of the old ones
(See “Deleting Voice Messages” on
Page 5).

• If you want to record an OGM, memo or

two-way phone conversation when its
memory is full, the system announces
“Memory is full”.

• Many local phone companies use calling

party control (CPC) to signal that the
caller has hung up. Your system can rec-
ognize a CPC signal and release the
line. If the system records phone com-
pany messages or dial tones, your local
phone company probably does not use
CPC.

Using the Announce-Only Feature

Your system’s announce-only feature lets
you play a message for the caller then auto-
matically hang up without letting the caller
leave a message.

To select announce-only, set

1/5/ANNC ONLY

ANNC ONLY

. When the system receives a

call, it plays the announce-only message and
displays the Caller ID. After the announce-
ment, the system sounds 5 beeps, and stays
on line for 10 seconds so you can enter the
remote operation security if necessary.

If the system receives no code within ten
seconds, the system hangs up and resets to
answer the next call. To turn off announce-
only, set

1/5/ANNC ONLY

to either

Notes:

• When the system is set for announce-

only, you cannot set it to record calls
using the remote commands.

• You can still use remote commands to

perform all operations.

• The system always answers on the sec-

ond ring except when the memory is full.

Memo Recording

Follow these steps to record a memo up to 1
minute.

1. Hold down

2 WAY/MEMO
