Record your outgoing announcement
(see page 27).
Enter a 2-digit number (40-99) for remote
access from another phone (see page 33).
When on, the telephone beeps every 10
seconds when you have new messages.
When on, callers hear an announcement
but cannot leave messages (see page 28).
When on, you can hear callers leave
messages, or press
P
to answer.
Choose number of rings before the system
answers a call. When Toll Saver is active,
the system answers after 2 rings if you
have new messages, and after 4 rings if
you have no new messages.
Announce Only mode
In Announce Only mode, callers hear an announcement
but cannot leave messages. This option is useful, for
example, to notify callers that you will be away for an
extended period and request that they call back after a
certain date.
To turn Announce Only on or off
Press @MENU repeatedly until you hear “Change
Announce Only.” Then press @CHANGE until you hear
the option you want (On or Off). Press any @MBOX
button to store your selection and exit, or press
@MENU again to modify other features (see page 29).
To record your outgoing announcement
When Announce Only is turned on, calls are answered
with a pre-recorded announcement that says “We’re
sorry, messages to this number cannot be accept-
ed.” You can use this announcement, or replace it with
a recording of your own voice.
After turning on the Announce Only feature, follow the
steps on page 27 to record your announcement. Callers
will hear this announcement only when the Announce
Only feature is turned on. Otherwise they will hear the
standard announcement asking them to leave a message.
