Message Center Features
Message Center is an option available with Symphony, which provides you and your
family with the conveniences of a full-featured digital answering machine. In
addition to all the features of a digital answering system, Message Center offers
much more, including caller ID (if service is available), multiple mailboxes, a memo
feature, and a unique Privacy feature that enables you to divert ALL calls to the
Message Center mailbox for a duration you select – such as during mealtime, baby’s
nap time, etc. Check with your installer to see if these features have been enabled.
System Basics
•
Mailboxes -
The system has four mailboxes for storing messages and memos,
and users can be assigned access to any combination of mailboxes. This lets each
user listen to his/her own messages without having to listen to messages
intended for the other users
•
Greetings -
When Message Center answers a call a recorded greeting instructs
the caller to leave a message. If multiple mailboxes are in use, the message can
instruct the caller to press a key (1-4) corresponding to the desired user’s
mailbox, and then leave a message. The system then announces the greeting for
that user and automatically stores the caller's message in that mailbox.
•
Security System -
In addition to Symphony, special Message Center Keypads
may be used in your system – these provide a two-line LCD display, standard
control keys, plus a speaker/microphone to record and retrieve voice messages.
The system can also be set so that a user's messages are automatically played
whenever that user disarms the security system from a Message Center Keypad.
Playback Upon Disarm
Depending on how Symphony and Message Center are set up, messages can be
played back when the system is disarmed. If multiple users and mailboxes are set
up, the messages for a user can be played back when that user disarms the system
.
Messages and Memos
Like any digital answering system, Message Center records incoming telephone
messages. Message Center also enables users to record “Memos” for themselves or
for other users. For example, you may record a memo for your child – then when
your child returns from school and disarms the system, your memo is played back
ahead of any telephone messages.
Privacy Feature
The Privacy feature turns off all telephone ringers and lets Message Center answer
your calls. This can be useful if you do not wish to be disturbed at certain times.
A simple pull-down menu lets you select the Privacy duration (from 30 minutes to 5
hours). When Privacy is selected (via a check box), Message Center will take all
calls for that duration, or until you turn it off.
