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 *3while the system plays the outgoing
announcement. 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 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.”
By setting Announce Only to On or Off, you decide which announcement
your callers will hear when the system answers a call (the system comes
set for normal answering, with Announce Only turned off). See “Change
Announce Only” on page 22 to change your announcement selection.
NOTE: When the system is set to pre-recorded Announce Only, the
pre-recorded announcement is played twice to the caller.
