SAFETY INFORMATION

SAFETY INFORMATION

FOR YOUR SAFETY, PLEASE OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:-
• Never install telephone wiring during lightning storm.
• Do not use your DTAM unit near water or when wet.
• Do not take apart or remove the screws - there are no serviceable parts inside.
• Make sure the line cord and AC Adaptor do not cause a trip hazard.

READ THIS BEFORE INSTALLATION

Your DTAM conforms to Australian and New Zealand Telecommunications Authority Standards and you can connect it to most telephone lines. However, each device you connect to the phone line draws power from the phone line. We refer to this power draw as the device’s Ringer Equivalence Number, or REN. This number is on the label on the bottom of the DTAM.
If you are using more than one phone or other device on the line, add up all the RENs. If the total is more than three, your phone(s) might not ring and your DTAM might not answer. If ringer operation is impaired, remove a device from the line.
NOTE:
You must not connect the DTAM to any of the following:
Coin operated systems
Party-line systems
Most electronic key phone systems

INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on the purchase of your 7000A Digital Telephone Answering Machine, (DTAM). This product has been designed especially for the Australian and New Zealand market. It is guaranteed to provide you with reliability, long life and outstanding performance.
Digital means all messages are stored on a computer chip - there are no tape mechanisms to wear out and no tapes to bother with. This gives you capabilities that tape-based answering machines don’t have. For example, you can delete individual messages, skip forward, backward or play only new messages.
