REALLOCATING
Three announcements are available. Each has a duration in
ANNOUNCEMENT
seconds, totaling 64 seconds. The customer can elect to
TIMES
lengthen or shorten any of the time allocations as long as
the total equals 64 seconds. If a customer is not using an
announcement, set the allocated time to 00. The
allocations are as follows:
TABLE 2-1 Announcement Time Allocations
Seconds Announcement
25 Day announcement
25 Night announcement
14 Hold announcement
NOTE: If the time allocated to one announcement is
increased, decrease another time accordingly so
that the total time equals 64 seconds. A hold
announcement is required for proper system
operation. (See “Recording Announcements.”)
Announcements are recorded only up to the time
allocated. If while recording an announcement
you run over the time allowed, the recording
stops at the time allocated. Therefore, always
play back the announcements to be sure they
were completely recorded. See “Playing Back
Announcements” in this section.
