Operation Answer calls When the system answers a call, the caller hears the outgoing announcement followed by a beep. After the beep, the system begins recording the caller's message. A caller can leave a message of up to 3 minutes. If the message is longer than 3 minutes, or if the caller is silent for more than 7 consecutive seconds, or if the system runs out of memory, the system beeps once and announces, "Memory is full. The machine will now hang up," then hangs up. Call screening The call screening feature lets you listen at the answering system to a caller leaving a message. If the answering system and call screening are on, the announcement and the incoming message broadcast when a call is answered by the answering system. If the number announce feature is on, the caller's telephone number will be announced. NOTE: If you set the volume level to 0, the system will automatically adjust to an audible level (level 2) during call screening, or when listening to messages or changing feature settings. You may need to adjust the volume level afterwards. Options while a message is being recorded: • Press VOLUME to adjust the call screening volume. • Press PLAY/STOP to stop the message recording. Call intercept When a caller is leaving a message on your answering system, you can stop recording and talk to the caller by lifting the handset of any telephone on the same line. The system stops recording, you hear a beep and you can take the call. If the system does not disconnect immediately, press and release the telephone switch hook. Caller ID number announce NOTE: You must subscribe to caller ID service from your telephone service provider for this feature. There may be a fee for this service, and it may not be available in all areas. This system can announce the caller's telephone number between the second and third ring (see Feature setup and Feature summary on pages 2 and 3 to turn this feature on). Store number When this feature is on, the system announces the caller's number before playing back a message. Accept blocked calls When this feature is turned on, the system answers and records messages from any callers. When this feature is turned off, the system responds to blocked calls (from callers who have chosen to block their numbers from identification) with the default announcement, "We're sorry. Blocked calls to this number cannot be accepted." The system then hangs up without recording any incoming messages. Message window The message window displays the total number of messages recorded. If there are more than nine messages recorded, the message window displays the first digit, second digit and dash alternately. If the message window displays F, then the memory is full and some messages must be deleted before new messages can be recorded. Message Guard® The answering system protects the recorded messages from loss in the event of a power failure. Message Guard® is a trademark of Advanced American Telephones.
