Radio Shack Digital Answering System with Big Button Trim Phone - Manual (Page 28)

28 Answering System
Notes:
• The announce-only OGM does not affect your original
OGM that tells callers to leave a message. Each OGM can
be recorded, played back, or deleted independently.
• When the system is set for announce-only, you cannot set
it to record calls using the remote commands. Use remote
commands to perform all other operations.
• If you delete your recorded announce-only (AO) message
or never recorded one, you cannot use this feature. You
must record an announce-only message before this feature
will function.
• If you have not recorded an announce-only OGM and the
switch is set to ANN. ONLY , the system seizes the telephone
line after 10 rings and beeps twice. Enter the remote opera-
tion security code within about 7 seconds, then enter
8# to
start recording your announce-only OGM. To stop record-
ing, enter
5# . Your announce-only OGM automatically plays
back once. After that, the system answers according to the
RINGS setting and plays your announcement.
Screening Calls
To screen your calls, let the system answer and listen to the
caller’s message through the system’s speaker. If you decide to
answer the call, pick up any phone connected to the same
phone line as the answering system. The system stops record-
ing and resets to answer the next call.
