“1*” or “2*”, or waits longer than 4 seconds
before pressing a key, the caller’s message will
be automatically recorded in Mailbox 1.

LOCATION OF CONTROLSOPERATION

Sample Message:

“Hello, this is ______________.
I can’t come to the phone right now, but please

possible. If you wish to leave a message
specifically for Bob, press “1*”, for Joan, press
“2*”. Thank you for calling.”

Notes:

• The maximum length for an outgoing
message is approximately 1 minute and the
minimum is about 2 seconds. When the
maximum outgoing message length is
reached, the system sounds three short
tones and plays back the message. Repeat
these steps to record a new outgoing
message. The counting numbers will flash,
at the last 10 seconds.

• If you record your own message and later
decide to use the prerecorded message,
hold down GREETING until a beep sounds.

the system hangs up and resets to answer
the next call. The number flashes on the
display to indicate an incoming message
has been recorded.

4. When the system answers a call or records
a message, if any phone on the same line
is picked up or the system detects a Calling

Party Control (CPC) signal, it stops playing
the outgoing message or recording, and
resets to answer another call.

5. When the system is off ( “–” appears on
the display) and there is an incoming call,
it will answer the call after 10 rings and
sound a long beep, then waits seven
seconds for the remote code.

Notes:

• When there are messages from 0-9, the
display shows ‘0’ to ‘9’ respectively. If there
are more than 9 messages, the display will
be flashing.

• When the memory is full, ‘F’ appears on
the display. If you try to change to OGM
(Out Going Message) while the default
OGM is on, the unit will emit three beep
tones and the OGM will not change. If you
already have a personal OGM, you can still
change your OGM when the memory is full.

• Many local phone companies use Calling
Party Control (CPC) to signal that a caller
has hung up. Your system can recognize a
CPC signal and release the line.

• If memory reaches maximum capacity,
while a caller is leaving a message, it stops
recording and hangs up automatically.

Screening Calls

To screen your calls, let the system answer.
Listen to the caller’s message through the
system’s speaker. If you decide to answer the

answers, the system might not stop playing
the message. If this happens, press PLAY/

STOP to stop playing the message.
