Setting up
Follow these steps to set up your
Response 123 for use.
Plan the location of your
Response 123
Situate your Response 123 close
enough to the phone and mains power
sockets so that both cords will reach.
1Check your telephone
wall socket
2Plug the power cord into
the back of the machine
To prevent the cord being pulled out
accidentally, route the cord through
the channel on the base of your
Response 123.
If you do not have a modern phone
socket, call Freephone 0800 800 150
and ask for a BT engineer to come
and fit the correct one. This is a
chargeable service.

3Plug the adaptor into a
mains power socket
The message indicator will light up and
your Response 123 will beep. This is a
prompt for you to record your outgoing
message. (See page 15.)
4Set the ringer switch
The ringer switch is on the back of the
base. There are two settings.
ON - ring.
OFF - no ring.
5 Insert the back-up battery
The back-up battery (9v 6LR61 not
supplied) ensures that all settings and
messages are saved for up to 6 hours
in the event of a power cut.
If the back-up battery runs out, or no
battery is fitted, then in the event of a
power failure your Response 123 will
revert to its original settings. Your
messages and outgoing message will
be lost.
Remove the screw before opening the
compartment.
6Now you can plug your
Response 123 into a
telephone socket
Your Response 123 is now ready
for use.
