Casio TA-119 User Manual

IMP0RTANT FEATURES

INITIAL SET

ADVANCED MESSAGE MANAGEMENT

Allows you to manage your messages more effectively and efficiently. Digital technology provides you with the following user conveniences:

Selective Save & Erase: Save and erase specific messages at the machine for added convenience and flexibility. Skip & Repeat: During playback of messages at the machine or remotely, skip and repeat messages for greater playback control. Instant Access™ to Messages: All messages are recorded digitally and therefore can be accessed instantly for more efficient playback than tape based units. All Digital Recording: Greetings and incoming messages are recorded on a digital chip, eliminating mechanical components and increasing reliability. The TA-119 allows 20 minutes of combined recording time for the greeting, incoming messages, recorded memos and conversations, and Message File messages.

Your digital answering machine provides you with the following advantages: 1 . Reliability. There are no moving parts to break. The use of electronic components effectively

increases the life of your machine.

2. Operational Ease. There is no tape to rewind or entangle. You no longer have to worry about replacing worn or damaged parts.

NOTE:

■ The audio quality of the digitally recorded greeting and incoming messages may be subtly different than those

recorded on microcassette.

VOICE TIME/DAY STAMP

No more guess-work to determine the time and day that your messages were recorded. Your TA-119 will digitally stamp each message with this information.

VOICE ASSISTED OPERATION

A synthesized voice confirms machine functions and commands when operating and programming the TA-119 at the machine or via remote access.

CONFIRMATION VOICE PROMPT

A synthesized voice will reconfirm the selective erasing of messages. After completion of message playback, you will hear “ Two messages erased.”

The unit will automatically stop playing your greeting or recording an incoming message. If it does not stop, hang up the phone and then answer the call again after two seconds to allow the answering system to detect the extension phone.

BATTERY BACKUP

Install one fresh 9 volt (9V) battery to protect your greeting, incoming messages and any programmed information (i.e. time/day stamp) during a power failure. The programmed information is saved during a power failure until the battery is depleted.

INSTALLING A 9V

BATTERY

To protect your messages and programmed information during a power failure:

Disconnect the AC Adapter from the

electrical wall outlet. Turn the TA-119 over and remove the battery cover.

Install a 9V alkaline battery. Make sure the

battery is connected correctly. Replace the cover. Reconnect the AC Adapter.

TWO-LINE INSTALLATION

Two-line installations may require a two line T-Adapter for your machine to operate correctly. The T-Adapter allows you to connect your machine to Line 1 or Line 2. The TA-119 will only answer one line.

MULTI-LINE

INSTALLATION

Installations with more than two lines, such as a business phone system, may require a separate RJ11 jack for answering machines. Please contact your telephone equipment provider for additional information. You can use the TA-119 as an extension phone on a business phone system, but some systems will require that you install an A+A1 Adapter to light the in-use indicator on the receptionist’s console. See the accessory order form to order an A+A1 Adapter.

NOTE:

■ Make sure a battery is installed before disconnecting the unit from the power outlet or the greeting and programmable information will need to be recorded and entered.

Clean the plastic cabinet with a clean soft cloth only. Do not use excess water or cleaning liquid of any kind.

BATTERY CAUTION

CAUTION:

To reduce the risk of fire or injury to persons, read and follow these instructions:

1. Use only a 9V carbon zinc or alkaline, 1604 or

1604A size battery.

2. Do not dispose of the battery(ies) in a fire. The cell

may explode. Check with local codes for possible special disposal instructions.

3. Do not open or mutilate the battery(ies). Released

electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.

4. Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to

short the battery with conducting materials such as rings, bracelets and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause burns.

5. Do not attempt to recharge the battery(ies)

provided with or identified for use with this product. The batteries may leak corrosive electrolyte or explode.

6. Do not attempt to rejuvenate the battery(ies)

provided with or identified for use with this product by heating them. Sudden release of the battery electrolyte may occur causing burns or irritation to eyes or skin.

7. When replacing batteries, all batteries should be

replaced at the same time. Mixing fresh and discharged batteries could increase internal cell pressure and rupture the discharged battery(ies). (Applies to products employing more than one separately replaceable primary battery).

8. When inserting batteries into this product, the

proper polarity or direction must be observed. Reverse insertion of batteries can cause charging, and that may result in leakage or explosion. (Applies to products employing more than one separately replaceable primary battery).

9. Remove the batteries from this product if the

product will not be used for a long period of time (several months or more) since during this time the battery could leak in the product.

10.Discard “dead” batteries as soon as possible since

“dead” batteries are more likely to leak in a product.

11.Do not store this product, or the batteries provided

with or identified for use with this product in high temperature areas. Batteries that are stored in a freezer or refrigerator for the purpose of extending shelf life should be protected from condensation during storage and defrosting. Batteries should be stabilized at room temperature prior to use after cold storage.

Recorded messages are cut off.

The TA-119 is designed to disconnect from the line after a caller stops talking. Calls may be cut off if a five second pause is detected, if the caller does not speak loud enough, or if the message is less than four seconds.

The TA-119 does not respond when you enter your remote access code during the greeting.

Try re-entering the correct code after the beep.

Between messages there is an operator recording or a beep and dial tone.

The caller has hung up without leaving a message. A shorter greeting will reduce the frequency of these recordings.

You have more than one telephone number and are experiencing difficulty.

See "MULTI-LINE INSTALLATION."

There is no sound during playback.

Check and adjust the VOLUME CONTROL.

FCC REQUIREMENTS

USER INSTRUCTIONS

1. This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules. On the bottom of this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, the FCC registration number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this equipment. If requested, provide this information to your telephone company.

2. The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices you may connect to your telephone line and still have all of those devices ring when your number is called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices you may connect to your line, as determined by the REN, you should call your local telephone company to determine the maximum REN for your calling area.

3. If your answering machine causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may discontinue your service temporarily. If possible, they will notify you in advance. But if advance notice is not practical, you will be notified as soon as possible. You will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.

4. Your telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the proper operation of your equipment. If they do, you will be given advance notice so as to give you an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted service.

5. If there is a problem with this unit, the telephone company may ask you to disconnect this equipment from the network until the problem has been corrected or you are sure that the equipment is not malfunctioning.

6. Repairs can only be made by the manufacturer or an authorized service agency. Unauthorized repairs void registration and warranty. Contact seller or manufacturer for details of permissible userperformed routine repairs, and where and how to have other than routine repairs made.

7. This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company. Connection to party lines is subject to state tariffs. (Contact your state public utility commission or corporation commission for information.)
