2-Line 900-MHz Spread Spectrum Cordless Phone w/Call ID
(430-0682)        Telephone Answering Device (TAD)    Faxback Doc. # 59763

Selecting The Outgoing Message

The phone has two prerecorded outgoing messages.  One asks the caller to 
leave a message: "Hello, no one is available to take your call.  Please 
leave a message after the tone."  The phone uses this message when REC 
TIME is set to 1 or 4 (see "Setting the Record Time," below).

The other is simply an announcement and does not let the caller leave a 
message: "Hello, no one is available to take your call."  The phone uses 
this message when REC TIME is set to ANN (announcement only).

You can also record your own message (see  "Recording/Deleting an Outgoing 
Message").  When you record your own outgoing message, the phone uses it 
for all REC TIME settings. 

To switch between your outgoing message and the phone's prerecorded 
message, press MSG LINE SELECT so the line indicator for the desired line 
lights in the message-counter window, then press OGM.  When the current 
message begins to play, press OGM again.  The phone switches to the other 
message and plays it.  The display shows P for prerecorded message, U for 
your own message.

Recording/Deleting An Outgoing Message

You can record different messages for each line.  Press MSG LINE SELECT so 
the line indicator for the desired line lights in the message-counter 
window.  Hold down OGM until the phone beeps and the message-counter 
window starts counting. Then speak your outgoing message (up to 30 seconds
long) into the built-in microphone on the bottom of the base.  You can see 
how long your message is by watching the message-counter window.

When you finish your message, press PLAY/STOP or OGM.  The phone plays 
back your message.

To delete your outgoing message and use the phone's prerecorded messages, 
hold down OGM until the phone beeps.  Then press OGM again within two 
seconds.

Setting the Record Time

Set REC TIME to 1, 4, or ANN to determine how the phone will record 
incoming messages for each line.

                      1 - The phone plays the outgoing message and lets 
                          callers leave a message up to 1 minute long. 

                      4 - The phone plays the outgoing message and lets 
                          callers leave a message up to 4 minutes long. 

ANN (announcement only) - The phone plays the outgoing message but does 
                          not let callers leave a message.

Setting The Phone To Answer Calls

To set the phone to answer calls, press MSG LINE SELECT so the line 
indicator for the desired line lights in the message-counter window, then 
press ANSWER.  If the phone is set to record a caller's message (see 
"Setting the Record Time," above), it plays the outgoing message and shows 
the number of recorded messages. If the phone is set to Announcement-only, 
it plays the outgoing message, and A appears.

Note:  If the incoming message memory is full, the phone announces "No 
       remaining time."

To set the phone to not answer calls, press MSG LINE SELECT so the line
indicator for the desired line lights in the message counter window, then
press ANSWER.  The phone announces, "Answer Off" and the message-counter 
turns off.

Screening Calls

You can let the phone answer calls for you while you listen to the 
caller's message through the base's speaker.  If you decide to answer the 
call, press LINE 1 or LINE 2 on either the base or the handset to answer.
You can also pick up any phone on the same line. The phone stops recording
and resets to answer the next call. 

Notes: When you receive a call on one line while you re using the speaker
       phone on the other line, the screening call function does not
       operate. 

       You must press LINE 1 or LINE 2 on the handset even if you set the
       auto talk function on that line to on.

Recording Incoming Messages

After the phone answers a call, it plays the outgoing message, beeps, and 
records the caller's message.  (Answer) and Line 1 or Line 2 appear on the 
handset's display.

Each incoming message can be up to 1 or 4 minutes long, depending on how 
you set REC TIME (see "Setting the Record Time," above).  The phone's 
maximum recording capacity is 25 minutes or 59 messages for both lines in 
total.

Note:  When the phone receives a call on one line while it is answering on 
       the other, it answers the new call after finishing recording the 
       first call. 

The phone stops recording and rests to answer the next call when: 

  The caller hangs up.  

  The maximum message length is reached. 

  The phone detects a busy signal or more than 7 seconds of silence.

  You pick up the call on any phone on the same phone line. 

Note: When the phone's message memory is full, FL appears on both Message
      counters and the phone announces "No remaining time" when you try to
      operate it.

Recording A Memo

A memo is a message you can record at the phone for yourself or others in
your home or office.  The phone stores memos as incoming messages on the 
selected line (see "Playing Messages," below).

To record a memo, press MSG LINE SELECT so the line indicator for the 
desired line lights in the message-counter window.  Hold down MEMO on the 
base until the phone beeps and starts counting in the message-counter 
window, then speak your message.  When you finish the memo, press PLAY/ 
STOP or MEMO.

Notes:  The maximum length for recording a memo is 10 minutes.

        The phone cannot record a memo less than two seconds long. 

        If you receive an incoming call or page from the handset, the 
        phone exits the memo recording mode. 

        You cannot record a memo while the phone is answering the other
        line.

Recording A Conversation

The phone lets you record both sides of a telephone conversation. 

Important Note:  It is illegal in some areas to record a conversation 
                 without the consent of all parties to the conversation, 
                 including the phone company.  Check the laws in your area 
                 before you use the two-way recording feature.

indicator for the line you are talking on lights in the message-counter 
window.  Then press MEMO on the base until the phone beeps and the message 
counter window starts counting.  To stop recording, press PLAY/STOP or

       LINE 2, you can select either line with MSG LINE SELECT.

       You cannot record a conversation when the ET-682 is answering on
       the other line.

Playing Messages

After the phone has recorded a message, its message-counter shows the 
total number of messages stored.  If you have new messages, the number 
flashes. 

To play your messages, press MSG LINE SELECT so the line indicator for the 
desired line lights in the message-counter window, then press PLAY/STOP.
The phone announces the number of new and old messages, then plays the new 
messages.  The message number appears as each message plays, and the phone 
announces the day and time of the call at the end of each message.

To skip to the next message, press SKIP during playback.  If you know the 
message number of the one you want to hear, hold down SKIP until the 
desired number appears. 

To replay the current message from the beginning, press REPEAT.  If you 
press REPEAT within about 2 seconds (4 seconds during remote operation) 
after a message begins playing, the phone replays the previous message.

If you know the message number of the one you want to hear, hold down 
REPEAT until the desired number appears. 

Adjusting The TAD's Volume

To adjust the speaker's volume, repeatedly press VOLUME /\ or \/ on the 
base.  The volume setting from 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest) appears in the 
message-counter window.

       messages at once while you still have new messages, the phone
       sounds a long beep and deletes old messages only.

Setting The Remote Operation Pin

The phone's two-digit remote operation PIN (personal identification 
number) prevents unauthorized remote access to your messages.  The PIN is 
preset to 80.  Follow these steps to change the PIN to any number from 00 
to 99.  The PIN is common to both lines.

       exits the PIN setting process.  Start again at Step 1.

1.  Hold down PIN until the phone beeps and 00 appears in the message
    counter window. 

2.  Press SKIP to set the first digit of the PIN higher or REPEAT to set 
    it lower.  Then press PIN.
