About Mailboxes

tone phone can select the mailbox in which their messages will be recorded
by pressing *1,*2,or *3while the system plays the outgoing

About Announcements
NOTE: When the system is set to pre-recorded Announce Only, the
pre-recorded announcement is played twice to the caller.
• 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 20 to change your
announcement selection.
