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").

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, repeatedly press MSG LINE SELECT until 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 or 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, repeatedly press MSG LINE SELECT until 
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.

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

Recording Incoming Messages

After the phone answers a call, it plays the outgoing message, beeps, and 
records the caller's message.

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 for both lines is 25 minutes or 59 messages.

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

The phone stops recording and resets 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.

       When you want to record a conference call using both LINE 1 and
       LINE 2, you can select either line with MSG LINE SELECT.

       You cannot record a conversation when the telephone 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, repeatedly press MSG LINE SELECT until the line 
indicator for the 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 play all messages after playing the new messages, press PLAY/STOP 
again.  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.

base.  The volume setting from 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest) appears in the 
message counter window.

Deleting Messages

phone beeps.

To delete all messages on either line at once, repeatedly press MSG LINE 
SELECT until the line indicator for the desired line lights in the message 
counter window.  Then, while messages are not playing, hold down DELETE on 
the base until the phone beeps and 0 appears in the message counter 
window.

Note: You cannot delete new (unplayed) messages.  If you try to delete all
      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.

Note: If you wait more than 2 minutes between each keypress, the phone 
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.

3.  Press SKIP or REPEAT to set the second digit of the PIN, then press
    PIN.  The phone announces the new PIN.

4.  To check your PIN at any time, press PIN.  The PIN appears in the
    message counter window, and the phone announces it.

Remote Operation

While you are away from your home or office, you can use a touch-tone 
phone, or a pulse (rotary) phone with a pocket tone dialer (available 
through your local RadioShack store) to enter your PIN and do any of the 
following:

  Set the phone to answer or not answer calls.

  Listen to your messages.

  Record a new outgoing message.

  Erase messages.

  Monitor the room where the phone is located.

Notes: You cannot remotely operate the phone using its handset or another
       telephone on the same line as the phone.

       You can also listen to the message recorded on Line 2 by making a
       call to Line 1's number (or vice versa).

Using The Toll-Saver

If RING TIME is set to TS (toll saver), (see "Setting the Number of Rings" 
in Faxback Doc. # 60676), the phone answers after three rings if you have 
new messages (ones you have not listened to). If there are no new messages 
the phone answers after five rings.  This gives you time to hang up before 
the phone answers so you can avoid unnecessary long-distance charges.

Note: Toll-saver works only on the line you called.  If Line 1 has no new
      messages, but Line 2 has one, the telephone answers after five rings
      when you call Line 1.

Using Remote Commands

Follow these steps to operate the phone from a remote location.

Note: If you wait more then 15 seconds between keypresses, the phone
      sounds a long beep and hangs up.

1.  Dial your phone number and wait for the phone to answer.

2.  If the phone is not set to answer calls, it answers after about 10
    rings and sounds a series of beeps.

3.  When the outgoing message begins (or the phone sounds a series of
    beeps), press #, then enter your PIN within 2 seconds.

If the PIN is correct, the phone announces the day and time, then it 
announces the number of new and old messages.  The phone plays all new 
messages, then beeps about every two seconds to let you know it is ready 
to accept remote commands.

Notes: If the phone does not respond, try entering your PIN again.  If you
       enter an incorrect PIN three times, the phone beeps and hangs up.

       When the phone is operating from a remote location, it stops all
       answering functions and rC appears on the display on the base.  The
       phone resumes answering functions when it is no longer in remote
       operation, if you have not turned it off.

       The remote playback of incoming messages is limited to 4 minutes.
       If you have more messages after 4 minutes have passed, you must
       press #2 again to listen to the rest of the messages.

       When using remote operation you can only delete the current message
       during playback.  You cannot delete all the messages stored at one
       time.

The following table shows the remote commands you can use.

Note: Remote operation stops when someone picks up the handset and presses
      either LINE 1 or LINE 2 (whichever is flashing), or any phone on the
      same phone line.
