IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY

If this telephone does not work properly, try the
following suggestions. If you’re still having difficulty,
call 1 800 222–3111.

No Dial Tone

• Make sure all plugs are connected properly. Check the
line cord connections at the wall jack and at the
telephone. Also check the coiled cord connections to
the handset at both ends.

• Unplug the telephone and connect it to another wall
jack. If you still have no dial tone, the problem is with
your phone line. Call your local telephone service
provider.

• If the system is not connected to AC power and
batteries are not installed, you will not hear a dial tone.

Call Cannot Be Dialed, or Is Dialed Slowly

• If you have pulse dialing service, you cannot dial
numbers with the dial mode set to tone. See “Dial
Mode” in the TELEPHONE OPERATION section of this
manual for instructions. Set the dial mode to pulse,
then hang up and dial again.

• If you have tone dialing service, you may be able to use
either tone or pulse dialing mode. If you set the dial
mode to tone, numbers are dialed much more quickly.

Problems with Message Window or
Indicator Lights

• Press O to make sure the system is on.

• Make sure all plugs are connected properly. Check
the line cord connections at the wall jack and at the
telephone. Make sure the power cord is securely
connected to both the answering system and an
electrical outlet not controlled by a wall switch.

LOW BATTERY Light Is On

• Make sure the batteries are cor rectly installed.

• If the light stays on, replace the batteries with four
new ones.

Telephone Does Not Ring

• Make sure the RINGER switch is set to LO or HI.

• If there are several other telephones on the same line,
try disconnecting some of the other telephones.
Having too many telephones connected can create
problems such as low ringer volume, or impaired
sound quality during calls.

Messages Are Incomplete

• The system can accept messages up to three minutes
long. If a caller leaves a very long message, part of it
might be lost when the system disconnects the call
after three minutes.

• If the caller pauses for more than seven 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 RING SELECT switch is set to TS (Toll Saver),
the number of rings changes from four to two when
you have new messages waiting.

• In some cases, the system might be affected by the
ringing system used by the local telephone company.

• If the system's memory is full, or the system is off, the
system answers after 10 rings.

System Does Not Respond to Remote Commands

• Make sure you are calling from a touch tone phone.
When you dial a number, you should hear tones. If
you hear clicks instead, the phone is not a touch tone
telephone.

• The answering system may not detect the Remote
Access Code while your announcement is playing. Try
waiting until the announcement is over before
entering the code.

• There may be noise interference on the phone line
you are using. Press dial buttons firmly.

• Make sure you are entering your Remote Access Code
correctly.

• You might be calling from a phone that sends tones
too short for your answering system to detect.

Power Failure

• The batter ies provide back-up power; you will be able
to make calls in the event of a power failure.

• If the system is disconnected from AC power the
answering system features will not operate. Your
announcement and messages are retained in memory
during a power failure, but you will need to reset the
clock. The Remote Access Code might revert to its
original setting.

• The system operates in dial pulse mode during a
power failure, but returns to whatever dial mode
setting you have selected when power is returned.

About Mailboxes

This answering system offers you four voice mailboxes,
providing a convenient way to share an answering system
with other members of your household or business.
Callers using a touch tone phone can select the mailbox in
which their messages will be recorded by pressing 1, 2, 3,
or 4 after the system answers the call. Those not using a
touch tone phone, or those who do not press 1, 2, 3, or 4,
can still leave a message, which is automatically recorded
in Mailbox 1.

Announcement Options

Before using this answering system, you should record an
announcement (up to three minutes long) that callers will
hear when the system answers a call. When you record
this announcement, make sure you indicate who has been
assigned each mailbox, and that callers should press 1, 2, 3,
or 4 to access the appropriate mailbox.

For example,

“Hello. You’ve reached Meadowlark Nurser y. To
leave a message for Ms. Arbor, press 2. To leave a
message for Ms. Brooks, press 3. To leave a message
for Mr. Cardinal, press 4. If you don’t have a touch­tone phone, wait for the tone.”

6

ANSWERING SYSTEM OPERATION

You can record up to three different announcements —
A, B, and AO. Announcements A and B are used when you
want the system to record callers’ messages.
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 f or 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.

Recording Y our 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.

2 Press and release g. The Message Window

displays CH.

3 Press and release A. The system beeps. Speak

toward the microphone normally, from about nine
inches away. While you are recording, the Message
Window displays the elapsed time of your recording.

4 Press S when you are finished. The system

automatically plays back your announcement.

Reviewing Y our Announcement

1 Set the ANNC SELECT switch to A, B, or AO.
2 Press and release A.

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 top arrow to increase volume. Press the
bottom arrow to decrease volume.

Answering Calls

When ANNC SELECT is set to A or B, and the system
answers a call, the caller hears the announcement you
recorded, followed by a beep. During the announcement,
callers can press 1, 2, 3, or 4 to select a mailbox, or they
can wait for the beep to leave a message in Mailbox 1.

After the beep, the system begins recording your caller’s
message. A caller can leave a message up to three minutes
long. 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 ANNC SELECT is set to AO, callers hear your
announcement. 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 Sav er

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.

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.

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.

Call Screening/Intercept

Set the system to answer calls, and set the volume control
so you can hear the caller’ s messag e.

If you decide to take the call, lift the handset of this telephone
or any telephone on the same line, or press K. The
system stops recording and resets to answer calls.

NOTE: If the announcement does not stop right away,
press and release S or press and release the telephone
switchhook, or F on an extension.
