About Announcements
•
You can record two different announcements for each line—
one for normal answering and one for when you’ve set the system
to play the announcement only.
•
Use Record when you want the system to record callers’
messages. Use Answer Only when you want to give information to
callers without accepting messages.
•
If you choose not to record an announcement, the system answers
with a pre-recorded announcement.
•
The normal answering pre-recorded announcement says:
“Hello.
Please leave a message after the tone.”
The Answer Only pre-recorded
announcement says:
“We’re sorry, messages to this number cannot
be accepted.”
•
By setting the answer mode to Record or Answer Only, you
decide which announcement your callers will hear when the system
answers a call (the system comes set for normal answering). See
“Answer Mode” on page 11 to change your announcement selection
for each line.
