6.1 Recording your greeting
message
The unit has 2 pre-recorded greeting messages for TAM/
FAX mode. If you record your own greeting message, it
will be played instead of the pre-recorded greeting
message when a call is received.
The maximum recording time of your greeting message
is either 16 seconds (default) or 60 seconds. We
recommend you record a message of less than 12
seconds to make it easier to receive faxes.
Make sure feature #77 is set to
“
TAM/FAX
” beforehand
(page 44).
Important:
R When callers leave messages, the unit records
the day and time of each message. Make sure the
date and time have been set correctly (page 19).
