About Mailboxes
This answering system has three voice mailboxes. Callers using a touch tone
phone can select the mailbox in which their messages will be recorded by pressing
1 , 2 , or 3 . All other messages will be recorded in Mailbox 1.
About Announcements
•
You can record up to two different announcements — one for normal answering
and one for when you’ve set the system to play the announcement only.
•
Use normal answering mode (Annouce Only OFF) when you want the system
to record callers’ messages. Use Announce Only mode (set to ON) 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 message
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.”
Turn Answering System On/Off
When you supply power to the Base Unit, the
answering system is automatically turned ON.
Press ON/OFF to manually turn the system off

The system will operate using the default settings
