Outgoing announcements
Outgoing announcements are the messages callers hear
when calls are answered by the answering system.
The phone is pre-programmed with an announcement
that answers calls with “Hello. Please leave a message
after the tone.” You can use this announcement, or
replace it with a recording of your own voice.
To record your outgoing announcement
Press MENU until you hear “Change announcement.”
Then press RECORD and begin speaking after you hear
“Now recording.” Speak facing the telephone base from
about 9 inches away.
Elapsed time (in seconds) will be shown in the message
window as you record. You can record an announce-
ment up to 90 seconds long. Announcements less than 3
seconds long will not be recorded.
To delete your outgoing announcement
Press MENU until you hear “Change announcement,”
then press PLAY to begin playback. Press DELETE during
playback to delete your announcement.
When your announcement is deleted, calls will be
answered with the pre-programmed announcement
described above.

Day and time announcements
To set day and time
Before playing each message, the answering system
announces the day and time the message was received.
Before using the answering system, you should follow
the steps at left to set the day and time, so messages
are dated correctly.
The system uses voice prompts to guide you. Each time
you press CHANGE, the day, hour, minute or year
advances by one. When you hear the correct setting,
press TIME SET to move to the next setting.
To check day and time
You can press TIME SET at any time to hear the
current day and time without changing it.
