Creating User Recorded Messages
Because the
WebCaster
automatically downloads production files according to your pre-determined schedule, it is
maintenance free. You can however, tailor your professionally recorded production with your own personalized User
Recorded Message (URM).
After recording a URM, it rotates in with your Voice Messages. The default setting is for Voice Messages to play two
times before playing your URM.

RECORDING
A
URM
Your URM can be up to 25 seconds long before it cuts off. We recommend that you write a short script and practice
recording it using the following tips. You need the telephone handset (provided) to record a URM.
1. Hold the handset close to your mouth.
2. Speak in your normal tone of voice.
A recording that is too loud can cause distortion; while a recording that is too soft might not be heard by your
callers. Watch the green and amber lights on the level indicator while you record. For best results, try to keep
the green and amber lights blinking. If only the green light blinks, move the handset closer to your mouth. If
the red light is on most of the time, move the handset away from your mouth. An occasional blink of the red
light is acceptable.
