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.
