Recording Your Outgoing Messages

Your Answering System provides one primary mailbox and four individual mailboxes

(1, 2, 3, 4) which can receive their own incoming messages. Before using your

Answering System, it is suggested that you record an Outgoing Message (OGM).

This is the announcement callers will hear when the system answers a call.

A pre-recorded system announcement "Hello, please leave a message after the tone." is made available if you choose not to record your own outgoing message.

A. Recording your OGM in Primary Mailbox

1. Press and hold down the OGM button to record your message.

2. Begin speaking right after you hear "Please begin speaking after the tone." Do not release the button until you have completed your message. Length of OGM less than 3 seconds will not be accepted.

3. Release the OGM button one second after your message is completed.

Your recorded message will be played after releasing the button.

If you wish to change your OGM, repeat steps 1 through 3.

It is recommended that you record an OGM on your primary mailbox instructing a caller to leave an incoming message on one of the four mailboxes. If the caller is using a Tone telephone, this will enable the caller to record an incoming message directly on one of the four mailboxes by dialing "11" for mailbox 1, "22" for mailbox 2,

"33" for mailbox 3, "44" for mailbox 4.

Example of Primary OGM: "Hello, please leave a message after the tone, or if you are using a Tone telephone, please Dial 11 for Mary, Dial 22 for Tommy, Dial 33 for

Peter, Dial 44 for Samson".

Note: To check your OGM, press the OGM button. If you did not place any

OGM, it will announce "You have no OGM."

B. Recording your OGM for Individual Mailbox 1, 2, 3 or 4

1. Press a mailbox button, the corresponding mailbox indicator will blink.

2. Press and hold down the OGM button to record your message.

4. Release the OGM button one second after your message is completed.

Your recorded message will be played after releasing the button.

If you wish to change your OGM, repeat steps 1 through 4.

38


Note: To check your OGM in a mailbox, press a mailbox button and then press the OGM button. If you have no OGM in a mailbox, it will announce

"You have no OGM, mailbox X". Once a mailbox is activated, the corresponding light blinks slowly to indicate mailbox is actively ready to perform various functions.

Charge the batteries at least once every 90 days of non-use to avoid battery failure. When the battery pack can no longer be charged, replacement of the battery pack will be necessary.

The battery pack used in your telephone may develop a condition known as

"MEMORY". Once subjected to a regular short discharging routine, the battery assumes the discharging pattern it was subjected to. This is known as a "MEMORY" condition which causes rapid discharging shortening the battery charge span. If you believe your battery has developed a memory condition, do not charge the HANDSET until the battery low warning starts beeping.

When it does come on, charge the HANDSET fully for 12 hours.

IMPORTANT

In order to get maximum life from

the HANDSET battery pack, be sure to charge the HANDSET for 12 hours before initial use.

Technical Information

Technical Information

This cordless telephone uses radio frequencies to allow mobility. There are certain difficulties in using radio frequencies with a cordless telephone. While these are normal, the following could affect operation of your system.

Noise

Electrical pulse noise is present in most homes at one time or another. This noise is most intense during electrical storms. Certain kinds of electrical equipment such as light dimmers, fluorescent bulbs, motors, and fans also generate noise pulses. Because radio frequencies are susceptible to these noise pulses, you may occasionally hear them in your HANDSET. Generally they are a minor annoyance and should not be interpreted as a defect in your system.

Range

Because radio frequency is used, location of the BASE UNIT can affect operating range. Try several locations in your home or business and pick the one that gives you the clearest signal to the HANDSET.

Interference

Electronic circuits activate a relay to connect the cordless telephone to your telephone line. These electronic circuits operate in the radio frequency spectrum. While several protection circuits are used to prevent unwanted signals, there may be periods when these unwanted signals enter the BASE

UNIT. You may hear clicks or hear the relay activate while you are not using the HANDSET. If interference occurs frequently, it can be minimized or eliminated by lowering the height of your base antenna or by relocating the

BASE UNIT. You can check for interference before selecting the final BASE

UNIT location by plugging in the phone.

NOTICE:

This cordless telephone uses radio communication between the HANDSET and the BASE UNIT and may not ensure privacy of communication. Other devices, including other cordless telephones, may interfere with the operation of this cordless telephone or cause noise during operation. Units not containing coded access may be accessed by other radio communication systems. Cordless telephones must not cause interference to any licensed radio service.

FCC Requirements

Federal Communications Commission Requirements

This equipment complies with Part 68 of FCC Rules. A label on the BASE

UNIT of this equipment contains, among other information, the FCC

Registration Number and the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this equipment. You must, upon request, provide this information to your telephone company.

The REN is also useful in determining the quantity of devices that you may connect to your telephone line and still allow these devices to ring when your telephone number is called. In most areas, but not all, the sum of the RENs for all devices connected to one line should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that you may connect to your line, you should contact your local telephone company.

If your equipment should cause harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may temporarily disconnect your service. If possible, they will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required.

However, when advance written notice is not possible, the telephone company may temporarily discontinue service without notice if such action is necessary under the circumstances. The telephone company may make changes in its communication facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures where such action is reasonably required in the operation of its business and is not inconsistent with the rules and regulations of the Federal Communications

Commission. Do not attempt to repair or modify this equipment.

Warning: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for its compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

Some cordless telephones operate at frequencies that may cause interference to nearby TVs and VCRs. To minimize or prevent such interference, the base of the cordless telephone should not be placed on or near a TV or VCR. If interference is experienced, moving the cordless telephone farther away from the TV or VCR will often reduce or eliminate the interference.

This equipment should not be used on coin telephone lines. Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs. If trouble is experienced, disconnect this equipment from the telephone line to determine if it is causing the malfunction. If the equipment is determined to be malfunctioning, its use should be discontinued until the problem has been corrected.

IMPORTANT

In order to get maximum life from the

HANDSET battery pack, be sure to charge the

HANDSET for 12 hours before initial use.
