manual abstract
The answering system saves all information, including the outgoing message, on tape so it will be saved during a power failure. When power is restored after a power failure, the answering system plays the tape automatically to restore the outgoing message to the digital chip. Checking the Outgoing Message Press OGM REC/PLAY at any time to hear the outgoing message. The answering system beeps once and plays back the message, then beeps twice.
