ABSTRACT:
An automatic telephone answering apparatus having an announcement mechanism for playing an announcement message to a caller in response to a signal being received from the public telephone network indicating that the caller wishes to call the number to which the automatic telephone answering device is connected. The automatic telephone answering device has a housing containing circuitry for controlling the announcement text. The housing also has an empty space to receive a hand-operated dictating machine, which dictating machine has a tape mechanism therein for recording a message from the caller. Circuits are provided for controlling and sequencing the operation of the announcement text and the time period during which the caller can record information on the tape in the dictating machine. Thus, the use of the dictating machine is enhanced by permitting its use outside of the telephone answering environment as a dictating machine and also a use in the telephone answering apparatus for recording information from the caller.
