Introduction To Your Multi-Announcer
Read this section to get an overview of how your Multimessage Multi-Announcer works. This
section also contains some important information about conditions for installing and
connecting the unit
There are two models in the Multimessage Multi-Announcer range:
♦ The Model 311, which is fitted in a one-unit-high case and may be equipped to answer
two, four or six telephone lines
♦ The Model 310, which is fitted in a three/five-unit-high case and may be equipped to
answer up to 15/31 telephone lines
The instructions in this User Guide apply to both models, except for the installation instructions
these apply to the Model 311 only; qualified engineers must install the Model 310.
Your Multimessage Multi-Announcer gives you the ability to play up to 63 pre-recorded
announcements to your callers. Each caller hears the relevant announcement from the
beginning. Each announcement can be assigned to just one port or to a group of ports, as you
prefer. Some or all ports may have the same set of announcements; or each port may have a
different one.
To record announcements and set up the system, you use an ordinary tone-dialling telephone;
and you can modify the announcements and settings while the system continues to answer
calls. You can also use recordings made on an external device such as a cassette recorder.
