About Announcements
• You can record two different announcements — one for normal answering
and one for when you’ve set the system to play an announcement only.
• Use normal answering when you want the system to record callers’ mes-
sages. Use Announce 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. I’m unable
to answer your call right now. Please leave your name, number and a mes-
sage after the tone
.” The
Announce Only
pre-recorded announcement says:
“
Hello, I’m unable to answer your call right now. Please call again. Thank you
.”
• By setting
Announce Only
to
ON
or
OFF
, you decide which announcement
your callers will hear when the system answers a call (the system comes set
for normal answering, with Announce Only turned
OFF
). See
Set Announce
Only
, located in the
Feature Summary
chart later in this section, to change
your announcement selection.
