into a 230 V socket outlet.
2 Fit the small connector of the telephone connection cable into the "LINE" jack
and the telephone plug into the telephone socket.
3 If you want to transfer incoming messages to an external medium fit the
transfer cable with the jack plug to the "OUT" socket and the cinch plug to the audio input on the external device (audio system, cassette recorder etc.).

Outgoing messages
General
Your Retell 570 office has 14 individual outgoing messages (OGM 1-14) and one pre-configured outgoing message (OGM 15). You can select the OGMs via the selection button next to the OGM symbol. OGM 15 cannot be personalised. A distinction is made between two types of outgoing message: OGMs with and without the option to record an incoming message. For OGMs that can record an incoming message the caller can leave a message after the OGM. For OGMs that cannot record an incoming message (OGM only) the caller is given information but cannot leave a message.
Sample outgoing messages
Outgoing message with incoming message option
Hello, this is the answer machine for Peter Miller from … I am currently away from the office and expect to return by [time]. You can reach me in person between [time] and [time] or call me on … Alternatively, you can leave your name and number and I will call you back. Please speak after the beep.
Outgoing message without incoming message

Automatic redialling /Automatic call back when engaged (CCBS)
If the person you are trying to call is constantly engaged your Tiptel 570 office can take over by repeatedly trying to call the other person. For automatic re-dialling if the caller is engaged there is a pause and the device repeats the dialling up to 10 times. With the "Call back if engaged" function a call is signalled to you as soon as the person you are trying to reach is free. Your telephone network or extension system must support this function (refer also to your network operator and PABX manufacturer user instructions). To activate "Call back on busy" you usually dial a certain combination of digits (e.g. Hook flash *37#). The combination of digits must be pre-entered as described in "Settings/Call back code" (Page 92).
You call someone and the number is engaged.
"Subscriber busy" is displayed.
To start automatic re-dialling press the selection button next to the re­dial symbol.
After the pre-set time the dialling is repeated up to 10 times.

Short messages (SMS)
The SMS service allows you to send or receive SMS messages to other terminals. The messages are not transferred directly to the other terminal but instead are sent to your network operator's message centre. The message can contain up to 160 characters. You can save up to 20 messages in the inbox. To use the SMS it is essential that there is support for transferring the call number (CLIP). Then all you have to do is register with your message centre and away you go.
You can also send your short message to a subscriber that does not have an SMS­enabled device. The short message is then read out loud as a voice message. Please refer to your network operator's information material for this and other functions.
Please observe the following points so that you can send and receive short messages (SMS) with your Retell 570 office:
Configuring the telephone connection
Analogue telephone connection
If you have an analogue telephone connection, please check whether you can access the "Call number transfer" and "Call number display" (CLIP, incoming and outgoing) functions. To do so, please ask your network operator if these features are available for your connection. If you have the Retell 570 office connected to an analogue extension off a PABX then the SMS function will not work.
ISDN connection
If you have an ISDN connection check that call number display (CLIP), is activated and that call number transfer (CLIR) is not suppressed in your PABX.
Registering with your message centre
You have to register your Retell 570 office with your network provider to enable the send and receive of SMS messages. With BT, for example, you must first set up the send and receive message centre numbers under ‘SMS Center’. Currently the BT text send number is 147017094009000 (enter this under location 1) and the BT Text receive number is 0800587529 (enter this under location2). You must register your BT telephone line to send/ receive text messages first – to do this you need to send a SMS message from the device. Ensure that you have entered the text send and receive numbers under SMS center and follow the instructions for sending SMS

Message transfer
For message transfer the answering machine dials the saved call numbers consecutively after each new incoming message. If the subscriber called picks up he will hear the following outgoing message:
"Automatic call, ..x.. incoming messages, please collect remotely, I repeat …" or if you have entered your own call number as identification "automatic call from subscriber (own call number), ..x.. incoming messages, please collect remotely, I repeat".
It is possible to start remote control for the recorded message(s) during the message. Proceed as described in "Carry out remote control" (*Code#). If you do not access the messages remotely the device dials the next call number after a waiting period (5 - 180 seconds). If no remote control is carried out during the repeat time (5 – 60 minutes) the device dials the complete call number sequence again as a reminder. If there is no remote control your Retell 570 office makes no, one or two repetitions depending on the setting you have chosen.
Setting options for message transfer
Waiting period ....................... 5 to 180 sec. This is the time from hanging up to
dialling the next call number.
Repeat period ........................ 5 to 60 minutes. This is the time that passes before
all call numbers are called again.

In order to switch on call forwarding it is usual to dial a code before the target call number (e.g. *21*). A second code (e.g. #21#) switches call forwarding off again. (Refer also to your network operator's or system manufacturer's user instructions).

Mailboxes
General
You have the option or setting up in addition to the actual answering machine up to 4 mailboxes. Each mailbox has its own OGM, remote control code and its own target call number for message transfer. If your Retell 570 office is used by several people the caller can leave a message in the relevant mailbox. You should mention this function in the OGM. To select one of the 4 mailboxes the caller has to press the relevant number (1…4) on the keyboard of a tone-enabled telephone. The mailbox OGM is played and the caller can leave a message.
For PABX systems under certain circumstances there is the option of selecting the relevant mailbox automatically (refer to “Automatic call forwarding to the mailbox”, p. 89).
Another usage is an information center where the caller first hears the set message from the actual answering machine. The OGM contains notes on where the desired information is located (mailbox 1, 2, 3 or 4).
Setting options for mailboxes
Activate .................................. Yes or no. If you enter "Yes" here the mailbox will be
switched on. If a mailbox is switched off any existing
ICMs and the OGM are lost.
Access code .......................... If you want to access your mailbox remotely you
have to enter the access code for this mailbox.
Quick check code .................. If you want to access your mailbox by remote
control quickly without having to enter the access
code, you can for example enter your mobile phone
call number here. If this call number is detected for
a call the device starts remote control immediately.

Using the mailboxes
The corresponding symbols are displayed when you have set up mailboxes. In answering mode the number of ICMs in the mailbox is indicated to the right of the symbol. The mailboxes include playback and delete ICMs, monitoring/personal info (memo) and OGM functions. These functions are described in detail in the previous chapters. Because there is only one OGM for each mailbox it goes without saying that it is not possible to select the OGM.
Press the selection button next to the mailbox symbol until the desired mailbox flashes.
The selected mailbox flashes.
E.g.
Carry out desired function, e.g. playback all ICMs.
Playback of all the ICMs in the selected mailbox starts.

Remote access to mailboxes
Remotely accessing mailboxes is done in the same manner as remotely accessing the answering machine. The precise description is found in the "Remote access" chapter.
The following mailbox functions are available remotely:
Room monitoring/Intercom
Playing back the new ICMs in this mailbox
Playing back all ICMs in this mailbox
Skip back
Repeat the last 3 seconds/continue playback
Skip forwards
Deletes the ICM currently playing back
Stopping and pausing playback
Changing the outgoing message for this mailbox
 
Deleting all incoming messages for this mailbox
 
Changing the target call number for message transfer for this mailbox
Automatic call forwarding to the mailbox
Your PABX must meet the following requirements: The CLIP function (transfer of call number) must be supported and the call number of the extension that has forwarded must be transferred (for example as with the Retell 31 home or Retell 4011XT PABX). Connect your Retell 570 office to a free extension (analogue port) on your PABX. Set the mailboxes up and enter the call numbers of the corresponding extensions. Record individual OGMs for the individual mailboxes and switch the device to answering mode. In order to now switch the mailbox on or off from an extension you have to activate call forwarding from this extension to the Retell 570 office.
Example: Your Retell 570 office is connected to extension 25 on your PABX. The
extensions 21 to 24 are assigned to mailboxes 1 to 4. Extension 21 is programmed to forward calls to 25. An incoming call on extension 21 is forwarded to mailbox 1. The caller hears the message from mailbox 1 and can then leave a message.

Legality of Recording
Oftel says that you should make every reasonable effort to inform all parties to a call that it may or will be recorded, silently monitored or intruded into. They say that it is up to you how you do this and that acceptable options, depending on circumstances, might include warning tones, pre-recorded messages, spoken warnings by the operator or written warnings included in publicity material, telephone directories, contracts, terms of business, staff notices etc. Oftel says that it may not always be possible to warn first time callers with whom you have had no previous contact but what is important is that you have a systematic procedure in place, which provides the necessary information where this is a realistic possibility. Oftel also suggest following on a ruling from the European Court of Human Rights that staff are told of a phone that they can call from which will not be recorded.
