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 (ICM). 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.
Apre-recorded system announcement “Please record your message after the beep” is available
if you choose not to record your own OGM.
A. Recording your OGM in the PRIMARY MAILBOX
1. Press and hold down the button to record your message.
2. Begin speaking immediately after you hear, “Please record your announcement after the
beep”. Continue to depress the button. One second after completing your OGM,
release the button. Your recorded message will be played after releasing the
button.
NOTE:Your OGM must be at least 3 seconds and no more than 30 seconds in length.
If you wish to change your OGM, repeat steps 1 through 2.
After recording an OGM, you can choose to use the pre-recorded announcement for your
Answering System.
1. Press the button, while the OGM is playing, press the button.
2. After “You have no announcement” is played, the system generated “Please record your
message after the beep” will replace the locally recorded Answering System’s OGM.
NOTE: To obtain a better sound quality for locally recorded (OGMs and Memos) messages,
speak directly into the MICROPHONE from a distance of 9 to 12 inches.
It is recommended that you record an OGM on your PRIMARY MAILBOX instructing a caller to
leave an ICM in one of the four mailboxes. If the caller is using a Touchtone telephone, this will
enable the caller to record an ICM directly into 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 a Primary OGM: “Hello, please leave a message after the tone, or if you are using
a Touchtone telephone, please Dial 11 for Beth, Dial 22 for Jenny, Dial 33 for Jonathan, Dial 44
for Esson.”

The nickel metal hydride (Ni-MH) BATTERY PACK in the HANDSET can be recharged many
times using the built-in charger in the BASE UNIT.
When the BATT LOW symbol appears on the LCD Screen, a “beep” sound will be heard every
10 seconds. This indicates that the BATTERYPACK needs to be recharged.
Charge the BATTERY PACK at least once every 90 days of non-use to avoid battery failure.
When the BATTERYPACK can no longer be charged, replacement of the BATTERYPACK 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 PACK assumes the
discharging pattern it was subjected to. This is known as a “MEMORY” condition which causes
rapid discharging thereby shortening the BATTERY PACK charge span. If you believe your
BATTERYPACK has developed a “MEMORY” condition, do not charge the HANDSET until the
BATTLOW symbol appears on the LCD Screen. When the BATTLOW symbol appears on the
LCD Screen, charge the HANDSET fully for 12 hours.

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 the 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, the location of the BASE UNIT can affect the operating range.
Try several locations in your home or office 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 the interference occurs frequently, it can be minimized or eliminated by
relocating the BASE UNIT.You can check for interference before selecting the final BASE UNIT
location by plugging in the telephone.
NOTICE:
This cordless telephone uses radio communication between the HANDSET and the BASE
UNIT and may not ensure privacy of communication. Other devices, including another cordless
telephone, 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.
