SCREENING CALLS

You can use your answering machine to screen incoming calls while you are
at home.  If you want to speak to the caller, pick up any receiver and
start talking.  The answering machine stops automatically and resets to
answer the next call.  If you do not want to speak to the caller, let the
answering machine record the call.

Call Screening Tips

    Be sure you adjust the VOLUME control so that you can hear the
    incoming call.

    The answering machine does not automatically record your conversation.
    If you want to record the conversation, see "Two-Way Recording."

    If you want to answer a call without screening it, pick up any
    receiver when the phone rings or during the outgoing announcement. 
    The answering machine automatically resets to answer the next call.

    If you pick up the phone as soon as the answering machine answers, the
    tape might not reset.  Simply hang up the phone and try again.

TWO-WAY RECORDING

You can use your answering machine to record both sides of your
conversation.

Press 2-WAY RECORD.

The ANNOUNCE and ANSWER indicators alternately flash to show that the
answering machine is recording the phone conversation on the incoming
message tape.

Press STOP to stop recording any time during the call without
disconnecting the call.

NOTE:  It is illegal in some states to record a conversation without the
       consent of all parties to the conversation, including the telephone
       company.  Check the laws in your area before using the two-way
       record feature.

To play back the recorded conversation, follow these steps:

  In the STOP MODE - Press REWIND to rewind the tape.  Then, press PLAY to
                     play back the conversation.

In the ANSWER MODE - Press PLAY to play back the conversation.

RECORDING A MEMO

You can record a personal memo on the incoming message tape.

1.  Press MEMO.  The ANNOUNCE and ANSWER indicators alternately flash, and
    a beep sounds.

2.  After the beep, record the memo by speaking into the microphone.  The
    answering machine records your memo on the incoming message tape.

3.  After you record the memo, press STOP.  To play back the memo along
    with any messages:

    If the answering machine is in the answer mode, press PLAY.

    If the answering machine is in the stop mode, press REWIND to rewind
    the memo and messages.  Then press PLAY.

VOX

Your answering machine's VOX (voice operated transmission) circuit
continuously monitors the caller's voice.  If the circuit does not hear
the caller for about 7 seconds, the answering machine stops recording,
hangs up, and resets.  This helps conserve tape when a caller hangs up
before the maximum incoming message time (30 seconds or 3 minutes).
