[. . . ] Announcement AO (Announcement Only) is used when you want to give information to callers. (Some businesses use this announcement to advise callers of their hours of operation. ) By setting the ANNC SELECT switch to A, B, or AO, you decide which announcement your callers will hear when the system answers a call. If you choose not to record an announcement for A or B, the system answers with a prerecorded announcement: "Hello. Please leave a message after the tone. " The system does not have a prerecorded announcement for AO. After the beep, the system begins recording your caller's message. If the message is longer than three minutes, or if the caller is silent for more than seven seconds, or if the system runs out of memory, the system beeps once and hangs up. If a caller doesn't enter a mailbox number before the announcement ends, the system plays to the end of the announcement, then hangs up. Ring Select/Toll Saver Use the RING SELECT switch on the back of the system to select how many times the line will ring before the system answers a call. Set to 2 for two rings, set to 4 for four rings, or set to TS for Toll Saver. When you set the system to TS, the system answers after four rings when you have no new messages, and after two rings when you have new messages. Recording Your Announcement A total of about 24 minutes of recording time is available for announcements and messages. Each announcement can be up to three minutes long; however, shorter announcements leave more recording time for messages. For best results record your announcement in a quiet environment, without "background" noise. 1 Move the ANNC SELECT switch, located on the back of the system, to the announcement you want to record. While you are recording, the Message Window displays the elapsed time of your recording. The system automatically plays back your announcement. Message Window The Message Window displays the number of messages that have been recorded. If the Message Window displays F, then the memory is full and you'll need to delete messages before new ones can be recorded. If the Message Window displays AO, the system is set to Announcement Only. Mailbox Lights There are four MBOX (mailbox) lights that indicate whether you have messages in a particular mailbox. The MBOX light for a mailbox blinks when you have new messages in that mailbox, and remains steady when you have messages that you've already played. The MBOX light is off when there are no messages in the mailbox. Reviewing Your Announcement 1 2 Set the ANNC SELECT switch to A, B, or AO. Press and release A. Audible Message Alert If you want the system to beep once every 15 seconds to notify you that new messages have been received, set the MSG ALERT switch, located on the back of the system, to ON. Turning the System On/Off Use O to turn the system on and off. When the system is off, the Message Window is blank. Volume Control Use the V button to adjust the volume of the system's speaker. Press the bottom arrow to decrease volume. Call Screening/Intercept Set the system to answer calls, and set the volume control so you can hear the caller's message. If you decide to take the call, lift the handset of this telephone or any telephone on the same line, or press K. [. . . ] To skip a message -- Press and release 6 while the message is playing. To save messages, hang up. Record a Memo 1 2 Connect with the answering system. Press #, then enter the number of the mailbox where you want the memo recorded, and begin speaking after the beep.
