IMPORTANT FEATURE INFOR MATION

DIGITAL GREETING AND INCOMING MESSAGES

Greetings and incoming messages are recorded on a digital chip - reducing mechanical components and increasing reliability. The TA-180 allows a total of 28 minutes of combined recording time for greetings, incoming messages, recorded memos and recorded conversations.

Your all digital answering machine pr ovides you with the following advantages:

1. Permanent Message Protection - does not require a battery during a power failure to maintain greetings, recorded messages and remote code.

2. Reliability. There are no moving parts to break. The use of electronic components effectively increases the life of your machine.

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

4. Instant Access accessed instantly for playback. In addition, other features such as Variable Speed Playback machines.

NOTE:

■ The audio quality of digitally recorded incoming messages and greetings may be subtly different than incoming

messages and greetings recorded on a microcassette machine.

VOICE TIME/DAY/LINE STAMP

During message playback at the machine or via remote operation, a synthesized voice announces the time, day and the line for each message.

ONE-TOUCH CONTROLS

Many of the features of the TA-180 are activated by pressing a single button. There are no complicated instructions to remember.

REMOTE OPERATION WITH VOICE MENU

Use the programmable 3-digit remote access code to operate the TA-180 remotely from most touchtone and cellular phones.

ONE- OR TWO-LINE ANSWERING MACHINE

The TA-180 answers one or two phone lines and shows the message count for each line in the digital display. For total user control, the answering machine for each line can be turned on or off independently.

TWO GREETINGS

Record one or two greetings, one for each line, or one for both lines. Greetings of unlimited length can be recorded up to the maximum recording capacity of the TA-180. This allows you to record lengthy detailed outgoing messages for your callers if you desire.

MESSAGE FILE

Message File offers a convenient way to store important messages, long messages or to separate messages for business, personal use or for other users.

SHORT BURST/CELLULAR COMPATIBLE

This answering machine is compatible with short burst phones such as pay phones, car phones and other cellular phones. You can use a short burst phone to access the unit in remote operation.

SIMULTANEOUS ANSWERING OF BOTH LINES

If either line is in use on the Speakerphone or busy recording a message, a special message will be announced to the calling party on the other line to indicate the busy status of the TA-180. The second calling party will hear , “ This message will be repeated every ten seconds until the first line is no longer in use. The greeting will play and the second calling party can then record a message.

Hello. Thank you for calling. Your call will be answered shortly.

INSTALLATION FOR

CONNECTING TO A SINGLE

TWO-LINE WALL JACK

The TA-180 is designed to work with your existing telephone wiring, whether you have one or two telephone lines, or one or two wall jacks. The drawings and instructions on this page describe the most common 2-line connection which connects your answering machine to two telephone lines using a single jack (RJ14).

CONNECTING TO TWO

SINGLE-LINE WALL JACKS

If you have two separate wall jacks for two telephone lines, you may connect them to the TA-180 with two telephone cords. Refer to page 27 for connection instructions.

CONNECTING TWO

SINGLE-LINE TELEPHONES

If you wish to use single line telephones, you may connect them to each wall jack to allow 2-line telephone capability. Refer to page 28 for connection instructions.

RING SELECT

The RING SELECT SWITCH is located on the back of the unit. The unit is shipped with this switch set to “4.” Set it to 2, 4 or TS (tollsaver) according to the following:

TS 2 4

RINGS

1. When set to “2” the answering machine answers calls on the second or third ring.

2. When set to “4” the answering machine answers calls on the fourth or fifth ring.

3. When set to “TS” (tollsaver) the answering machine helps eliminate unnecessary toll charges by letting you know if there are

any new messages before it answers. When you call in to retrieve messages in remote operation, the TA-180:

■ Answers on the second or third ring if there are new messages.

■ Answers on the fourth or fifth ring if there are no new messages.

When you call your machine to retrieve messages in remote operation, you will know there are no new messages if the unit does not answer by the third ring. Hang up before the fourth ring to avoid an unnecessary toll charge.

RINGER VOLUME

The RINGER VOLUME SWITCH (located on the back of the unit) controls the ringer volumes for incoming calls on both lines. The RINGER VOLUME SWITCH is factory preset to “HI.” Each line has a unique ringer sound to allow you to differentiate the two lines.

REMOTE TURN-ON

If you left your home or office without turning on your TA-180, you can turn the machine on to answer Line 1, Line 2 or both lines.

Call in on the line you want answered (for example Line 1) and let the phone

ring 15 times or more. The answering machine will turn on. You will hear your greeting and a beep confirming that the Line 1 answering machine is on. Callers can now leave messages on Line 1.

If you want to turn on the TA-180 on your other line, hang up and call Line

2 and let the phone ring 15 times or more.

You can now enter your remote access code and use any of the remote

features or simply hang up.

This TA-180 is designed to answer one or two telephone lines. If you have two separate telephone numbers, they will be wired in one of two ways:

■ Two telephone numbers and two separate jacks (RJ11’s)- one for each line.

■ Two telephone numbers and one jack (RJ14)- one for both lines.

Determine which installation you have and refer to the correct page for installation instructions.

An RJ14 jack and a two-line telephone: Follow the instructions on page 4. An RJ11 jack and a single-line telephone: Follow the instructions below left. Two RJ11 jacks and a two-line telephone: Follow the instructions below right. Two RJ11 jacks and two single line telephones: Follow the instructions on page 28.

MULTI-LINE INSTALLATION

Installations with more than two lines, such as business phone systems, may require a separate RJ11 jack for answering machines. Please contact your telephone equipment provider for additional information. You can use the TA-180 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 on the last page of this owner’s guide to order an A+A1 Adapter.

CLEANING THE TA-180

CAUTION: Disconnect the TA-180 from the power outlet before cleaning.

Use only a damp cloth or moist sponge to clean the plastic cabinet. A mild soap, like dishwashing detergent, will help remove grease or oil. Do not spray cleaners directly onto the unit. Cleaners should only be used on the plastic surfaces.

Recorded messages are cut off.

The TA-180 is designed to disconnect from the line after a caller stops talking. Calls may be cut off if a 5 second pause is detected, if the caller does not speak loud enough, or if the message is less than four seconds. The TA-180 will also stop recording when a call is answered with the speakerphone or extension phone.

The TA-180 does not respond when you enter your remote access code during the greeting.

Try re-entering the correct code after the tone.

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

The caller has hung up without leaving a message.

You have more than two telephone numbers and are experiencing difficulty.

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 user-performed routine repairs, and where and how to have other than routine repairs made.

points or short out parts that could result in a risk of fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.

10. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this product. Take it to a qualified serviceperson

when service or repair work is required. Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or other risks. Incorrect re-assembly can cause electric shock when the appliance is subsequently used.
