[. . . ] CORDLESS ANSWERING SYSTEM TELEPHONE 7620 · · · · Installation Telephone Operation Memory Answering System Operation Installation Table Installation 1. Choose a spot near an electrical outlet and a telephone jack. · This phone requires a modular telephone jack and a standard (110v AC). · The outlet should not be controlled by a wall switch: if the switch is ever turned off, the phone will not operate. [. . . ] NOTE: The numbers stored in memory might be lost when you change the handset batteries or if the batteries run down completely; if this happens, you'll need to store the numbers again. Replacing a Stored Number You can replace a stored number by storing a new number in its place. Storing a Pause in a Memory Dial Number If this phone is connected to a switchboard, you might have to dial an access number (usually 9) to get an outside line. You can store the access number and a pause in the dialing sequence; the pause allows the switchboard enough time to get an outside dial tone. When storing a memory number (see above), press and hold the number button of the digit that comes just before the pause until a second beep is heard. You can insert a longer pause by continuing to press and hold the number button of the digit that comes before the pause. A beep is heard for each 2-second pause inserted. NOTE: Each pause you store is counted as a digit. You can store up to 16 digits in each memory location. For example, to store 9, PAUSE, 555-1234 in memory location 3: Press MEMORY. Press and hold 9 until a second beep is heard. Then press 5551234 MEMORY 3. Answering System Operation from the Base Record an Announcement 1. Press CHANGE (located in the cassette compartment). After you hear a beep, record your announcement (up to 30 seconds). The recorded announcement will play until the end or until you press STOP. Ring Select/Toll Saver This answering system has three Ring Select choices, 2, 4, and TS (Toll Saver). Set to 2 if you want the system to answer calls after the second ring. Set to 4 if you want the system to answer calls after the fourth ring. Set to TS (toll saver) if you want the system to answer calls after the second ring when you have new messages and after the fourth ring when you do not have new messages. On this setting, when you call from another location for messages, you can hang up after three rings knowing you have no new messages, thus saving on toll charges. Automatic Answering Operation The system is ready to answer calls when it is on and the tape is not full. After playing your announcement and sounding a beep, the system records your caller's message: it stops when the caller hangs up or is silent for more than 7 seconds. [. . . ] Fast Forward Press and release 6 while the system is playing messages. The system stops playing, advances the tape, then resumes playing. Each time you press 6, the tape advances a few seconds. Stop Press 5 while the system is playing a message. [. . . ]
