Setting to Answer Calls The ON/OFF light should be on steady when the system is set to answer calls. If the ON/OFF light is not on, press and release ON/OFF to turn on the system. When the system answers a call, the caller hears the announcement you selected.

While the system takes a call, the Message Window displays: ANSWERING ANNOUNCEMENT PLAYING After the announcement plays, the Message Window displays: RECORDING MESSAGE · If a caller leaves a message, this display remains in the Message Window while the message is being recorded. The display then changes to show the total number of recorded messages for each mailbox. · If a caller does not leave a message, the Message Window displays REMOTE ACCESS and the system begins to present the voice-activated remote access prompts.

Setting to Not Answer Calls If you do not want your system to answer calls, press and release ON/OFF. The ON/OFF light goes off, but the display in the Message Window does not change. Setting the system to not answer calls does not impact your announcement(s) or messages. You can press and release ON/OFF to turn the system on again.

This allows you to turn the system on from a remote location using either a touch tone telephone or voice-activated commands.
