to read it - and enjoy your RP7010 to the full.

your Network supplier. Do not use your RP7010 with:
♦Shared service or party lines.
♦1 + 1 carrier systems.
♦A payphone unless it’s a private payphone with a
‘green spot’ approval mark.

Approval
The apparatus has been approved for the use of the
following facilities:-
♦Answering and recording of incoming messages.
♦Answering only.
♦Call screening by loudspeaker.
♦Day/time stamp of incoming messages.
♦Memo message facility.
♦2-4 Toll saver ringer switch setting.
♦Battery back-up.
♦Remote access using tone telephone/dialler.
♦Messages counter.
Any other usage will invalidate the approval to the
apparatus if as a result, it then ceases to conform with
the standards against which approval was granted.
The apparatus is approved for connection to direct
exchange lines and to approved, compatible PABXs.
It cannot be guaranteed that the apparatus will operate
correctly under all conditions when connected to some
PABXs. If difficulties are experienced, please contact
your network supplier in the first instance.
The apparatus has been approved for use with the
type 701 AC adaptor. Use of an alternative adaptor
may invalidate this approval and also damage the
apparatus.
DECLARATION: Hereby Geemarc Telecom Ltd
declares that this telephone is in compliance with the
essential requirements and other relevant provisions
of the Radio and Telecommunications Equipment
Directive 1999/5/EC and in particular article 3 section
1a, 1b and section 3.

Where to put your RP7010
and how to look after it
To wall mount your RP7010, use the template at the
back of the manual. Keep it away from heat dust and
damp. Clean it with a soft cloth (try not to press the
buttons). Never use polish or cleaning agents - they
could damage the finish or the electrics inside.
Note - We advise that units be placed on a table cloth
or similar as rubber feet can mark some surfaces.
How much telephone equipment
can you have in your home
Each item is marked (usually on the base) with a REN
number. For example your RP7010 is REN 1 and
most BT phones are REN 1. The REN numbers of all
your equipment, added up, must not exceed 4.
Otherwise you’ll overload your line and your equipment
may not work properly.
Care of your telephone
Thunderstorms
Unplug your RP7010 from the telephone socket during
thunderstorms: if lightning strikes your phone line, it
could damage the product. Your guarantee does not
cover lightning damage.

Step 1: plug into the mains
Plug the adaptor lead into the back of the machine.
Set the volume control to mid-position. Then plug
the adaptor into the wall socket and switch on. Don’t
plug into the telephone socket yet. The red light
comes on, the display will count to 41; there’ll be a
beep. Then ‘00’ flashes alternately with ‘Lo’. Wait
for the beep before continuing.
Step 2: fit four leak resistant,
alkaline AAA batteries
Why? Because if you have a power cut;
♦you won’t have to reset the clock;
♦you won’t lose your messages; and
♦you won’t lose any outgoing message you recorded
yourself. (The machine comes with standard
outgoing messages but you can record your own
instead).
The batteries will come into use only when the
power is cut off and will support the memories for
several hours. The batteries will eventually run
down if power is not restored. (Note: if you plan to
switch the power to the machine off for lengthy
periods, disconnect the machine from the
telephone socket and remove the batteries. You’ll
have to set the clock and record any personal
outgoing messages when switching the machine
on again and refitting the batteries.
1. Remove the battery cover. (Make sure the telephone
lead is not connected to the telephone socket).
2. Fit four AAA batteries: the battery cover shows you
which end of the battery faces outwards.
3. Put the cover back on. ‘00’ will flash.
If the batteries are low, ‘Lo’ flashes. Unplug from
the telephone socket and replace the batteries as
above. Dispose of batteries carefully. Never burn
them or let children play with them.

Step 3: set the clock
The machine speaks. If you set the clock, the
machine will announce the time and day that each
message was left.
What you need to know before you start
♦Don’t leave more than 15 seconds between button
presses, otherwise you’ll have to start again.
♦To programme a setting, you use OGM1 and
OGM2.OGM1 takes you to a higher setting; OGM2
takes you to a lower setting. The machine calls out
the settings.
♦Ensure the Message Display is on. If not, press
On/Off.
1. Set the volume to medium.
2. Hold down Skip until the machine calls out ‘Sunday’.
Then release Skip.
3. Press OGM1 or OGM2 to set the day. Then press
Skip.
4. Press OGM1 or OGM2 to set the hour. Then press
Skip.
5. Press OGM1 or OGM2 to set the minutes. Then
press Skip. The machine will call out your setting.
♦To hear the setting at any time, press Skip.
♦To change a setting, repeat steps 2-5.
Step 4: outgoing messages (OGMs)
The machine already has two outgoing messages:
OGM1 and OGM2. You can use these messages
or record new ones.
OGM1 lets the caller leave a message.
OGM2 does not let the caller leave a message. A
new OGM2 could be: ‘The surgery is now closed.
Please call again between 9am and 5pm’.
You can set the machine to use OGM1 or OGM2.
OGM2 also cuts in automatically if the memory’s
full.
♦Ensure Message Display is on. If not, press On/
Off.
Press OGM1 to hear OGM1 (‘A1’ appears). Wait
until ‘00’ appears, then press OGM2 to hear OGM2
(‘A2’ appears). If you’re happy with these messages,
go to Step 5; if you want to record new ones, see
page 6.

What you need to know before you start
♦Plan what you want to say. Hint: callers prefer short
messages.
♦Your message must be longer than 4 seconds.
♦Speak 20cm from the front of the machine.
♦During recording, ‘_’ flashes.
To record a new OGM1
1. Hold down OGM1 - speak after the beep - then
release OGM1. The machine will play your
message and ‘A1’ appears.
2. To hear OGM1 at any time, press OGM1.
To record a new OGM2
1. Hold down OGM2 - speak after the beep - then
release OGM2. The machine will play your
message and ‘A2’ appears.
2. To hear OGM2 at any time, press OGM2.To
change your message, just record another. If you
don’t record a new OGM1, ‘00’ flashes.
Step 5: after how many rings do you
want the machine to answer?
There are three settings.
♦‘2’: the machine will answer after 2 rings; or
♦‘4’: the machine will answer after 4 rings; or
♦‘t’ (toll saver). If you’re away and ringing in for your
messages, toll saver can save you the cost of a call.
It’ll answer after 2 rings if you have any new
messages, or after 6 rings if you don’t. So if it rings
more than 2 times you can hang up, knowing you
have no messages.
1. Press OGM1. After the message, ‘2’, ‘4’ or ‘t’ will
flash.
2. Press OGM1 again until the setting you want
appears.
3. Press Stop.

Setting up
Step 6: plug the machine
into your telephone socket
(for use with compatible PABX’s)
♦The plug only fits in one way round.
♦If you have a telephone plugged into your telephone
socket, disconnect the plug and reconnect it to the
socket at the back of the answering machine. The
telephone can then be used normally.
