Your new Cobra Intenna Cordless Telephone
Answering System comes equipped with Voice
Mailboxes (similar to those found in many
businesses) that let callers select and direct
their message to the entire household or just
one of the 4 individual ”Mailboxes”. This feature
is especially useful in households where
teenagers are present, where one or more
family members receives numerous calls or for
families with home-based businesses. A great
idea for roommates, too! The advantages, of
course, are that callers can leave private
messages for specific individuals and other
members of the household won’t have to
listen to, speed through or accidentally erase
messages that aren’t for them.
To Program Your Cobra
System As A Mailbox
1. Each individual or business is assigned a
Mailbox number, either 1,2, 3 or 4.
2. Change your announcement to one that
will instruct callers on how to access a
specific Mailbox. All messages will be
recorded in the General Mailbox, if not
directed by the caller to another Mailbox.
3. To record your Outgoing Message,
please see directions on page 9. An
example of a general Mailbox Message
might be:
“Thank you for calling the Smith
house. Sorry we can’t take your call
right now, but if you would like to
leave a message for (Home
Business Name) please press
(Star) then 1; To leave a message
for Susan, press then 2; To leave
a message for Mr. Smith, press
then 3; To leave a message for Mrs.
Smith, press then 4. To leave a
message to the entire family, wait
for the beep; you will have 2
minutes to speak”.
After the caller presses then a number
(1, 2, 3 or 4) they will be connected to the
Mailbox indicated and will hear the Mailbox
number, then the individual Outgoing
Message if one has been recorded. It is not
necessary to use all 4 available Mailboxes.
However, they are always accessible and
may be used at any time.

Outgoing Messages
