BeoTalk 1200 has a built-in Caller ID function so that you can see who is calling when your telephone starts ringing.

The Voice Announcement function allows you also to hear who is calling! To make the most of all the features of your BeoTalk 1200 it is necessary that you subscribe to the Caller ID service offered by your telephone company.

A Caller ID subscription is a condition for using the Voice Announcement Phonebook, Caller ID, Group Announcement and Rejection of incoming calls.

Without a Caller ID subscription you can use your BeoTalk 1200 as a traditional telephone answering machine with ( ) Announcement Only and ( ) Announcement and Message.

number -2 when no number has been

transferred

You can record a name for each of these codes so that the Phonebook will state them when these codes are sent.

Please note that the name you have recorded together with code -0 is also the name that will be played if you receive a call from a phone number which you have not already stored and recorded in the Phonebook. This may be an advantage as you will hear the announcement instead of three brief tones.

BeoTalk 1200 cannot always be expected to register calls from cellular phones if the calls are made from abroad.

Capacity Total speech time of 15 minutes for outgoing announcements, messages received and Internal messages. With 15 minutes total speech time the Voice Announcement Phonebook has a capacity of 50 phone numbers and names. However, it is technically possible to record up to 75 names, but this will reduce the time available for announcements and messages to 13 minutes.

Memory When pressing the OK button, the symbol in the display shows how much of the memory has been used. The contents of the memory is the sum of outgoing announcements, new messages and names in the Phonebook.

The symbol for memory used is shown in 5 steps:

where indicates almost no memory used, and almost the entire memory used.

When the entire memory has been filled, flashes in the display. Play the

News list to gain more space. The memory for announcements, messages and phone number lists works independently of any power failure.

Automatic deletion of messages BeoTalk 1200 automatically deletes all new messages played when more space is needed.

If the memory has been completely filled by new messages, BeoTalk 1200 switches automatically to playing Announcement Only. If no Announcement Only has been recorded, BeoTalk 1200 plays Announcement and Message followed by a series of tones.

You can gain more space by playing News.
