Preliminary
And you can set up Tel-Lynx with phone numbers for the automated calls that you
do want, such as those from your doctor’s office, pharmacy, school, or community
emergency alert system.
When your telephone does ring, distinctive ringing will let you know who the call
is for. When you answer your telephone, Tel-Lynx will announce the caller's name,
who is being called, and the outside line they are calling in on. Tel-Lynx always
announces new callers, and you can set it to announce callers in the phone book
or not. You can then take the call, send it to voice mail, or block the caller. You
can listen in while a caller leaves a message, or change your mind and take the
call. You can do all this from any telephone, PC, laptop, or tablet in your home 5.
When you’re away from home, TLC and TLC Plus can automatically and
selectively transfer incoming Skype™ and landline6 calls to your mobile
phone. You can select which contacts’ calls will be forwarded, and you'll never
have to turn this feature on or off.
With TLC and TLC Plus, you can also send and receive mobile phone text
messages7 using your home telephones, PCs, laptops, or tablets. You can
leave your mobile phone on its charger and never miss a call or text again!
You can set up Tel-Lynx using contact types so that your telephone only rings for
the calls you want and only when you want them. You can set regular Do-NotDisturb periods for your workday, sleep, and awake hours for workday contacts,
normal contacts, and super contacts, and you can temporarily override the
schedule. Tel-Lynx always allows urgent calls from your super contacts to get
through.
Tel-Lynx supports seven users plus a general user called anyone. Each user is
assigned a voice mailbox and can be assigned one of nine ring patterns for
receiving calls. Tel-Lynx also works with services like RingMaster® for use with
fax machines, or to identify the called party with different incoming ring patterns
on your landline.
You can set up an administrator contact who can remotely manage Tel- Lynx's
phone book, new call list, and settings. This is great for caregivers who want to
provide Tel- Lynx to a loved one to protect them from telephone scammers.
Caregivers can call in remotely, listen to new caller voice mail, and add new callers
to the phone book when appropriate. Tel-Lynx can also be operated in a mode
where only those people in its phone book are allowed through. All others go
through the one-time qualification process, but can only leave a voice mail, so no
telephone scammers can get through.
When using Tel-Lynx with a PC, you can record your phone conversations.
Note: In some states, recording phone conversations may be illegal without the
