CHOOSING AN OUTGOING ANNOUNCEMENT OPTION  
The outgoing announcem ent is the announcem ent callers hear when they call  
you and your answering system picks up the call. You can record a personalized  
outgoing announcem ent or use the default announcem ent that is program m ed  
into the answering system .  
USING THE DEFAULT ANNOUNCEMENT  
If you choose to use the default announcem ent, callers will hear, "Please leave  
your m essage after the tone."  
This announcem ent also serves as the default announcem ent when the answer-  
ing system loses power and is com pletely reset (unless you installed a 9-volt  
battery). If you installed the battery and recorded a personalized outgoing  
announcem ent, your answerer does not default to this announcem ent because  
your personalized outgoing announcem ent is retained in m em ory by the  
battery power.  
If you recorded a personalized outgoing announcem ent and then decide that  
you want to use the default announcem ent instead, press the ANNOUNCE  
button and release it within 1 second after the unit beeps.  
RECORDING A PERSONALIZED OUTGOING ANNOUNCEMENT  
When recording your outgoing announcem ent, you should be about 9 inches  
from the MIC, located on the front of the unit, and elim inate as m uch back-  
ground noise as possible.  
1. Press and hold the ANNOUNCE button.  
2. Begin talking after you hear the tone.  
3. Release the ANNOUNCE button when you're finished talking.  
SAMPLE OUTGOING ANNOUNCEMENT  
Hi, this is (use your name here), I can't answer the phone right now, so please leave your name,  
number and a brief message after the tone, and I'll get back to you. Thanks.  
REVIEWING THE OUTGOING ANNOUNCEMENT  
You can review the outgoing announcem ent by pressing and quickly releasing  
the ANNOUNCE button.  
NOTE: You can stop the outgoing announcement by pressing STOP while the  
announcement is playing.

The MESSAGES/ANSWER ON indicator light lets you know when som ebody has

press and release the PLAY•STOP button. Incom ing m essages are lim ited to 3  
m inutes each. Press and hold PLAY•STOP for 2 seconds to hear only new  
m essages. (If no new m essages, old m essages will play).

TOTAL MESSAGE ERASE  
You can erase all the m essages from m em ory by pressing and holding the  
ERASE button when the unit is not playing m essages (the unit beeps to confirm  
the m essages are erased). Note that total m essage erase cannot be com pleted if  
there are any unplayed m essages.  
NOTE: If you hear several high-pitched beeps, your answerer has not erased the  
messages because some of them or all of them have not been played.  
You can restore m essages erased this way by pressing the PLAY•STOP button—  
but only if you havent activated any other answerer functions or received new  
m essages after erasing the m essages.  
LEAVING A MEMO  
Leaving a m em o is just like recording an outgoing announcem ent, except you  
use the MEMO button instead of the ANNOUNCE button.  
1. Press and hold MEMO.  
2. When you hear a beep, continue holding MEMO and leave your m essage.  
3. Release MEMO when you finish your m essage.  
The m em o is included in the m essage count represented by the num ber of  
tim es the MESSAGES/ANSWER ON indicator light flashes.  
CALL SCREENING/ AUTO DISCONNECT  
Because the answerer autom atically stops recording when an extension phone  
is picked up (Auto Disconnect feature), you can screen incom ing calls. Listen as  
the caller leaves a m essage and pick up the handset (or any extension phone) if  
you want to talk to that caller.  
MEMORY FULL  
When the m em ory is full, you m ust erase old m essages so that there is room in  
the m em ory for new m essages.  
If the m em ory is full, the unit answers on the 10th ring and the MESSAGES/  
ANSWER ON light flashes rapidly. When using the rem ote access feature, you  
can enter your security code and then access your m essages.  
NOTE: The unit answers on the 10th ring when it is turned off or the memory is  
full. To access the answerer, enter the 3-digit security code after the beep. If  
memory is full, play messages and erase some of them to restore memory. If the  
answerer is off, press 6 to turn it on.
