MESSAGES ARE INCOMPLETE
The system accepts messages only up to 4 minutes long. If the caller pauses for more than 7 seconds, the system stops recording and disconnects the call. If the system’s memory fills up during a message, the system stops recording and disconnects the call.
SYSTEM DOES NOT ANSWER AFTER
CORRECT NUMBER OF RINGS
If the T oll Saver feature is on, the number of rings changes from four to two when you have new messages waiting. See “Ring Select.” In some cases, the system might be affected by the ringing system used by the local telephone company. If the system’s memory is filled with messages, or the system is off, or no AO announcement is recorded, the system answers after 10 rings.

WHEN PHONE IS ANSWERED
To stop the system, press and release the phone switchhook, or press S on the system.
SYSTEM DOES NOT RESPOND TO
REMOTE COMMANDS
When you dial a number from a touch tone phone, you should hear tones. If you hear clicks instead, the phone is not a touch tone telephone. In that case, you can use voice-activated commands. The answering system might not detect the Remote Access Code while your announcement is playing. Try waiting until the announcement is over before entering the code. There might be noise interference on the phone line you are using. Press dial buttons firmly . Make sure you are entering your Remote Access Code correctly. Your Remote Access Code might have reverted to the factory setting of 10. This happens if there is an AC power failure at your home and the system’s battery is either low on power or not installed.

VOICE-ACTIVATED COMMANDS
When a touch tone telephone is not avail­able, you can still call your system to listen to your messages. You use your voice to enter the Remote Access Code, to repeat messages, and to delete messages.
Speak in response to the prompts presented by the system as described below. You must speak quickly and loudly in order for the system to detect your voice.
The system does not recognize the actual words you are saying; it responds to any sufficiently intense auditory signal. For example, instead of “Enter code,” you can substitute any phrase or word that is easy for you to remember.
1 Dial your telephone number, listen for
the announcement, and then remain silent after the beep.
NOTE: If the system answers after 10 rings (because it is off or the memory is full), remain silent after the two-beep signal.
2 After about ten seconds, the system
prompts “Enter remote access code.” Immediately respond by saying “Enter code.”
3 You then hear “First digit,” followed by
“Enter zero,” “Enter four,” “Enter five,” and so forth. When you hear the first digit of the Remote Access Code, immediately respond by saying “Enter code.”
For example, if your Remote Access Code is 53, wait to hear “Enter five,” then say “Enter code.”
4 You then hear “Second digit,” followed
by “Enter zero,” “Enter one,” “Enter two,” and so forth. When you hear the second digit of the Remote Access Code, say “Enter code.”
5 If you enter the code correctly, the
system announces how many messages have been received, and begins playing all messages recorded on both lines.
If no messages have been received, the system disconnects the call.
6 At the end of each message, the system
prompts “Repeat message?” T o hear the message again, say “Repeat message.” If you remain silent, the system plays the next message. You can repeat each message once.
7 After the last message plays, the system
announces “End of messages” followed
by the prompt “Replay messages?”
To replay all of the messages, say
“Replay messages.” If you remain
silent, the system prompts “Delete all
messages?” 8 T o delete all of the messages, say “Delete
messages.” The system then repeats the
“Delete all messages?” prompt to
confirm your choice.
To confirm the delete, say “Delete
messages.” The system announces
“Messages deleted” and disconnects the
call.
If you remain silent after the “Delete all
messages?” prompt, the system
disconnects the call and the messages are
not deleted.
If you do not enter the correct
Remote Access Code
If you enter an incorrect Remote Access Code, the system beeps five times and be­gins the sequence of prompts again. If you enter the wrong code on the second try, the system disconnects the call.
If you do not respond to the correct digit while entering the Remote Access Code (or if the system fails to detect your response), you can remain silent after you hear the “Enter nine” prompt. The system beeps five times and begins the sequence of prompts again. If you do not respond cor­rectly during the second sequence of prompts, the system disconnects the call.
