Answering machine (only tiptel 291/293)
Dictate/Call record
You can use your answering machine to dictate personal information directly. If you speak your
information while the answering mode is on, other persons can retrieve this information via a remo-
te interrogation function. In this way, your answering machine can serve as an electronic mailbox.
1. Press the or button to select
"dictate/call record".
2. Press the button.
3. Press the button.
Every time you press the button, the display
switches between the available functions.
The display shows "recording". Now, start to
speak your information.
The recording is stopped. The LED blinks.
Message transfer
In the answering mode with message transfer on, your tiptel 291/293 dials a pre-programmed
destination number after an incoming message has been recorded. If the destination number is
busy, the device will redial the number up to four times every 60 seconds. If the called party does
not answer the call within 50 seconds, the dialling procedure is interrupted. If you have dialled
"#" after the target number, this time is reduced to 1 second. When the handset of the program-
med target number is picked up, the following pre-programmed announcement is heard:
"Automatic call, subscriber (own telephone number), X messages, please perform a remote
interrogation. I repeat ...".
If a remote interrogation is not performed within 20 minutes, the answering machine will call the
destination number again as a reminder (two times).
Message collection
If you want to collect several messages before executing the message transfer function, you
simply have to determine the number of incoming messages after which the message transfer
shall start (see chapter "Message transfer settings").
