mailboxes.  
If you want the caller to leave a message in a particular mailbox,  
your greeting should instruct the callers to press either the “1*”  
or “2*button before their message recording.If the caller doesn’t  
press a key, presses a key other than “1*” or “2*”, or waits longer  
than 4 seconds before pressing a key, the caller’s message will  
be automatically recorded in Mailbox 1.  
Sample Message:  
“Hello, this is ______________.  
I can’t come to the phone right now, but please leave your name  
and phone number after you hear the beep. I’ll return your call  
as soon as possible. If you wish to leave a message specifically  
for Bob, press “1*”, for Joan, press “2*”. Thank you for calling.”  
Notes:  
The maximum length for an outgoing message is  
approximately 1 minute and the minimum is about 2 seconds.  
When the maximum outgoing message length is reached,  
the system sounds three short tones and plays back the  
message. Repeat these steps to record a new outgoing  
message. At the last 10 seconds, the counting numbers will  
flash.  
If you record your own message and later decide to use the  
prerecorded message, hold down GREETING button until

message then beeps.  
3. The caller can leave a message up to one minute in length.

seconds, or the maximum message length is reached, the  
system hangs up and resets to answer the next call. The  
number flashes on the display to indicate an incoming  
message has been recorded.  
4. When the system answers a call or records a message, if  
any phone on the same line is picked up or the system  
detects a Calling Party Control (CPC) signal, it stops playing  
the outgoing message or recording, and resets to answer  
another call.  
5. When the system is off ( “–” appears on the display) and  
there is an incoming call, it will answer the call after 10 rings  
and sound a long beep, then waits seven seconds for the  
remote code.  
Notes:  
When there are messages from 0-9, the display shows ‘0’  
to ‘9’ respectively. If there are more than 9 messages, the  
display will be flashing.  
When the memory is full, ‘F’ appears on the display. If you  
try to change to OGM while the default OGM is on, the unit  
will emit three beep tones and the OGM will not change. If  
you already have a personal OGM, you can still change  
your OGM when the memory is full.  
Many local phone companies use Calling Party Control  
(CPC) to signal that a caller has hung up.Your system can  
recognize a CPC signal and release the line.  
If memory reaches maximum capacity, while a caller is  
leaving a message, it stops recording and hangs up  
automatically.

the next call. In the event that the system continues recording,  
press the hook switch on the telephone momentarily.

be heard. The standard voice prompts, beep tone, and  
recorded message should not be audible at minimum volume

system might not stop playing the message. If this happens,  
press PLAY/STOP button to stop playing the message.

7 Important information  
Temperature and ambient conditions  
The telephone answering system is designed for indoor use  
(temperature range of -10 °C to 50 °C). Do not install the system  
in areas where there is the risk of an explosion, excessive  
exposure to smoke, dust, vibrations, chemicals, moisture, and  
heat.The unit must not be installed in damp locations such as a  
bathroom or laundry, do not expose the unit to direct sunlight.  
Cleaning and care  
The surface of the case can be cleaned with a dry, soft, lint-free  
cloth. Never use cleaning agents, particularly aggressive  
solvents. Apart from occasional cleaning of the case, no other  
care is necessary. The rubber feet of the base station are not  
resistant to all cleaning agents. The telephone feet do not  
normally leave any marks on the surface. However, on account  
of the multitude of varnishes and surface finishes used, surface  
marks caused by the feet of the unit cannot be ruled out.
