1. COMMISSIONING

1.1 FITTING BATTERIES (NOT INCLUDED)

As your AUDIOLINE 818G stores all information digitally, such as your greeting message, all incoming messages and the day and time announcement, a 9 V alkaline battery is required to safeguard the data during a power cut or if the mains power supply should be accidentally disconnected.

The battery compartment can be found on the underside of your answering machine. Remove the screw and open the battery cover.

Now connect the adapter to the battery. In doing so, ensure that the polarity is correct.

Place the battery in the battery compartment, close the compartment and fasten the cover with the screw.

Note: When the battery is discharged or no battery is fitted, the “flat battery” warning light flashes. No battery power is required as long as the answering machine is connected to the mains power supply.

1.2 CONNECTING THE ANSWERING MACHINE

Set up your answering machine near to the telephone and to a mains socket.

Connect the fixed telephone cable to your TAE socket (coding N = for accessories such as answering machine / telefax). If you do not have the right connection, please contact DEUTSCHE TELEKOM.

Plug the power supply into a properly installed mains socket. Your answering machine signals that it is ready for operation by means of a signal tone and you can now set the day and time and record your greeting message.

1.3 SETTING THE DAY AND TIME ANNOUNCEMENT

The day and the exact time are saved with each incoming message so that you always know when callers left their messages.

Press the ⬤ SET button for 2 seconds. You will hear the day of the week currently set, e.g. Sunday.

Press the ⬤ SET button until you hear the correct day of the week.

Confirm the day of the week with the CHECK button. You will now hear an announcement of the hour currently set.

Press the ⬤ SET button until you hear the correct hour announced.

After hearing the correct hour announcement, press the CHECK button. You will now hear an announcement of the minutes currently set.

Press the ⬤ SET button until you hear the correct minutes announced.

Finish the process of entering the day and time announcement with the button.

The voice now repeats the day and time announcement that has just been set.

The current day and time announcement can be called up at any time by pressing the CHECK button.

If entering the day and time announcement is suspended for more than 8 seconds, the answering machine automatically aborts the process. In this case, you must repeat the process in its entirety.

2. OPERATION

2.1 RECORDING OR CHANGING GREETING

Before recording your greeting, you should write down the text that you want to record. The maximum length is 30 seconds. The longer your greeting lasts, the less recording time will be available for incoming messages. The maximum recording time is ca. 14 minutes. If your greeting lasts for 18 seconds, for example, then 13 minutes and 42 seconds remain for incoming messages.

Press and hold the R button.

Start recording your greeting after a signal tone (max. 30 seconds). While recording, keep at a distance of ca. 15 cm from the AUDIOLINE 818G so that you can speak easily into the microphone on the upper side.

Example: “Hello, this is 05432/1234. I am sorry but we are not available to take your call at the moment. However, you can leave a message if you wish. We will get back to you as soon as possible. Please speak after the tone. If you hear a second tone, the recording will stop automatically”.

Release the R button after you have finished your greeting message.

The greeting will now be repeated automatically. The volume can be adjusted with the two arrow keys ▼ and ▲. You can play back your greeting at any time by briefly pressing the ▼ button.

2.2 SETTING UP THE ANSWERING MACHINE

The “RINGING TONES” slide switch can be found on the rear of the AUDIOLINE 818G. Here you can set how many times the phone rings before incoming calls are answered.

2 The call will be answered after 2 rings.

6 The call will be answered after 6 rings.

TS In the “TS” position, the first call will be answered after 6 rings and all further calls will be answered after 2 rings. Furthermore, with the switch in this position, you can make use of the toll-free remote access facility. Details will be found in Chapter 3.2.

Your AUDIOLINE 818G can be switched on or off using the 📊/☐ button. If the answering machine is switched off, the message LED 📧 goes off and no messages will be recorded.

The maximum length for incoming messages is 60 seconds. If the caller speaks for longer, a signal tone sounds and the call will be cut off. If there is a pause of more than 7 seconds during recording, the call is automatically terminated with a signal tone.

No more calls will be answered if the memory capacity for new messages is exhausted.

The inbuilt loudspeaker enables incoming calls to be listened to without speaking to the caller. If you do not want to listen in to incoming calls, set the volume to minimum with the arrow key ▼. You can personally intervene at any time while the caller is dictating his message by lifting the telephone receiver. The answering machine switches itself off and you can speak directly to the caller.

2.4 LISTENING TO MESSAGES

If the messages LED is flashing then new messages have been recorded in your absence.

Listening to Messages

Press the ▶/□ button once. If the LED is flashing, your answering machine will now first play back the newly recorded messages. If the LED is not flashing, all recorded messages that you have not yet deleted will be played back. If no messages have been saved, you will hear several signal tones.

If you want to break off listening to the messages, press the ▶/□ button. By pressing the ▶/□ button again, you can resume listening. Listening to messages is terminated with the ⏻/□ button.

After the last message has been played, the unit responds with two signal tones.

Repeating current message

Press the 🏠 button to repeat the message currently playing.

Repeating previous message

Press the 🏠 button for one second to repeat the previous message.

Skipping one message

Press the 🎨 button once to skip the message currently playing. The answering machine now starts directly with the next message.

Fast forward

Press the ▶ button several times in succession. In this way, you can rapidly skip several messages.

Deleting a single message

Press the button while the message is being played.

Save all messages

No input required.

Delete all messages

After the last message has been played, you will hear two signal tones. Now press the button until you hear a further signal tone.

2.5 RECORDING NOTES

With the AUDIOLINE 818G, you can leave messages for other people who use your answering machine, e.g. your family. These messages can be listened to later using the ▶/□ button.

Press and hold the button.

Start recording the note after the signal tone. E.g. “Hello Thomas, you will find your meal in the fridge. I will be back at 10 o'clock”.

When you have finished your message, simply release the button. The LED flashes and your answering machine is immediately ready for use again.

2.6 RECORDING TELEPHONE CALLS

You can record a telephone call that you are in the process of making. In this way, you can listen to details of the call again later.

During the call, press the button for two seconds. Your AUDIOLINE 818G will start to record the call.

Press the button again to finish recording.

The recorded call can be played back with the ▶/□ button.

3. REMOTE ACCESS

3.1 AUTHORISATION CODE

Your AUDIOLINE 818G has personal access authorisation so that only you can listen to incoming messages using the remote access facility. The authorisation code is a three-digit number and can be found on the underside of your unit (Remote Code).

3.2 TOLL-FREE REMOTE PRE-ACCESS

Using the toll-free remote pre-access facility, you can find out whether there are any messages on your answering machine without incurring any charges.

Set the slide control to the "TS" position. If you now call your machine when you are away, the answering machine answers as follows:

A. If your call is answered after 2 rings, there are messages on your AUDIOLINE 818G and you can continue as described under 3.3.
B. If no messages have been recorded, your call will not be answered after 2 rings. Put the receiver down directly after the third ring as your answering machine will switch on as normal after the sixth ring. In this way, you can save call charges.

3.3 REMOTE ACCESS FACILITIES

Call your own telephone number and allow the greeting message to run through to the end. Wait until your answering machine is ready to record a message.

After the signal tone, enter your personal authorisation code by pressing the appropriate numbers on the number pad of the remote control or of a telephone.

A signal tone confirms that the right code has been entered. Now select one of the functions listed below by pressing the appropriate combination of keys. The pause between entering the individual functions must not exceed 12 seconds as, otherwise, the connection will be cut off automatically.

Replay all recorded messages Press "2 and #"

Replay newly recorded messages Press "2 and 5"

Note: While you are listening to the messages, the unit asks every 2 minutes and 40 seconds, whether you still want to carry on listening. The answering machine stops and you will hear three signal tones. Enter the number “2” to continue playing back the messages.

While playing back, you have the following facilities:

Skip message Press 7 and #

Repeat message	Press 8 and #
Repeat previous message	Press 6 and #
Delete message	Press 3 and #

After the last message, the machine answers with several signal tones. Now, within the next 7 seconds, you have various possibilities. If you do not make any input within these 7 seconds, the connection will be cut off automatically and all messages will remain saved.

Repeat all messages Press 2 and #

Delete all messages Press 3 and #

Switch off answering machine Press 9 and #" After this input, the AUDIOLINE 818G is no longer ready for operation.

Save all messages no input

Note: If you have deleted individual messages during play-back, these are undeleted once more if you listen to all the messages again using 2 and #.

3.4 RE-RECORD GREETING USING REMOTE ACCESS

Call your own telephone number and allow the greeting message to run through to the end. Wait until your answering machine is ready to record a message.

After the signal tone, enter your personal authorisation code by pressing the appropriate numbers on the number pad of the remote control or of a telephone. A signal tone confirms that the right code has been entered.

To re-record the greeting message, press the key combination 7 and #. Dictate your new greeting after the signal tone.

Complete the message with the keys 7 and #. The new greeting will now be repeated automatically.

Finish the call by putting the receiver down.

3.5 SWITCHING ON REMOTELY

Imagine that you have left your office or your house and have forgotten to switch on your answering machine. With the AUDIOLINE 818G, you have the facility to switch on the answering machine from another telephone.

Call your number and let it ring until your call is answered by your answering machine (ca. 9 times).

After the signal tone, enter your personal authorisation code. A signal tone confirms that the right code has been entered.

Press the keys 9 and #. And your answering machine will be switched on.

Now put the receiver down or make use of further remote access functions. In this regard, see Item 3.3.

3.6 REMOTE ACCESS WITH INSUFFICIENT MEMORY CAPACITY

You can control your answering machine at any time using the remote access facility. If, however, there is no memory left for new messages, the AUDIOLINE 818G will no longer accept calls. In this case, please proceed as follows:

Call your number.

Let it ring 9 times and your answering machine will respond with three short signal tones.

Now enter your authorisation code. You will hear two signal tones in confirmation and you now have the possibility of recreating more memory space by deleting messages. In this regard, first listen to the messages and then delete individual messages or all messages. See also Item 3.3.

4. IMPORTANT INFORMATION

4.1 CARE

The case of your AUDIOLINE 818G can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Do not use spray polish or cleaning cream with abrasive particles, which could damage the loudspeaker or the case. Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight and avoid extreme humidity.

4.2 FAULT FINDING

If a fault should occur, please first check whether this is caused by the unit or by the telephone line. For this purpose, remove all extra telephone equipment and connect only the AUDIOLINE 818G directly to the TELEKOM telephone socket. If the fault is still there, connect just your telephone to the telephone socket. The results will show you where the fault lies. Of course, you can always ring the DEUTSCHE TELEKOM service department who will give you more advice on checking your installation. You will find the telephone number in your telephone directory.

Message LED does not come on: Check whether the mains adapter is correctly seated in the socket. Make sure that the mains socket is in good working order.

Battery flat – LED flashes: The battery is discharged and must be replaced. If the power fails, your greeting, all recorded messages and the day and time announcement will be deleted.

Undefined faulty behaviour: If your answering machine does not work correctly, you can completely reset the AUDIOLINE 818G. In doing so, your greeting and all recorded messages will be deleted. For this purpose, unplug the plug-in mains power supply from the socket and remove the batteries. Refit the batteries after ca. 5 seconds and connect the AUDIOLINE 818G to the mains socket again.

All settings must now be re-entered from the beginning (see Chapter 1.).
