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 * 3 after the system answers the call.
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. I’m
unable to answer your call right now. Please leave your name,
number and message after the tone.” The Announce Only
pre-recorded announcement says: “Hello. I’m unable to answer your
call right now. Please call again. Thank you.”
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 “Set Announce Only”on page 25 to change your
announcement selection.
