Operation

Store number
When this feature is on, the system will
announce the caller’s number before playing
back a message.
Accept blocked calls
When this feature is turned off, the system
will respond to blocked calls (from callers
who have chosen to block their numbers
from identification) with the pre-recorded
announcement, “We’re sorry, blocked calls to
this number cannot be accepted.” The system
then hangs up without recording any incoming
messages. When this feature is turned on, it will
answer and record messages from any caller.
Message window
The message window displays the total number
of messages recorded. If there are more than
nine messages recorded, the message window
displays the first digit, second digit and dash
alternatively. If the message window displays
F, then the memory is full and some messages
must be deleted before new messages can be
recorded.
New message indicator
The ON/OFF light blinks when there are new
messages.
Listen to incoming messages
When the system plays incoming messages, the
message window displays the number of the
message playing. Before playing each message,
the system announces the day and time the
message was received. If the clock wasn’t set
when the message was recorded, or there was
a power failure after it was set, the sytem will
announce “Power failure” after the time and
day. After playing the last message, the system
announces “End of messages.” If you want the
system to answer a call when you are playing
message, press PLAY/STOP to end message
playback.
Play messages — Press PLAY/STOP. If there
are new messages, they will be played. If there
are no new messages, the old messages will
be played. If there are no messages in memory,
the system announces “No messages.”
Play message at half speed — Press and hold
MEMO/REPEAT while the message is playing.
Play message twice as fast — Press and hold
ANNC/SKIP while the message is playing.
Repeat entire message — Press MEMO/
REPEAT.
Repeat previous message — Press MEMO/
REPEAT twice, continue this process to listen to
other previous messages.
Skip to next message — Press ANNC/SKIP.
Stop message playback — Press PLAY/STOP.
Save messages
The system automatically saves all incoming
messages if you do not delete them. The
system can save approximately 40 minutes
of messages, including the outgoing
announcement, for a total of up to 99
messages. When the memory is full, some
messages must be deleted before new
messages can be recorded.
Memory monitor
To determine the system’s remaining recording
time:
1. If the system is on, press ON/OFF to turn
the system off.
2. Press ON/OFF again to turn the system
on. The system announces the remaining
recording time in minutes. (If less than five
minutes remain, the system announces “The
machine is on. Less than five minutes to
record.”)
