About Announcements
• You can record two different announcements — one for normal answering and one for when you’ve
set the system to play the announcement only.
• Use normal answering when you want the system to record callers’ messages. 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. Please leave a message after
the tone.” The announce only pre-recorded announcement says: “We’re sorry, messages to this
number cannot be accepted.”
• The time will be
set automatically
with incoming caller
ID data. You can
however choose
to set the time
manually.
• To advance the
minute or year by
increments of 10,
pres s and hold
CHANGE.
