cutting measures implemented on a company-wide basis. To hear this

their fine work. To return to the Main Menu, press [

In some cases, a Bulletin Board message may be more appropriate to your
needs than an Announcement. See “Announcements and Bulletin Boards” on
page 5-4 for a comparison.
If you change the Language mode (bilingual or monolingual), you do not need
to re-record the Announcements.
If you delete an Announcement, it is automatically removed from the menu
definition for all Main Menus (Automated Attendant) and Submenus
(Automated Attendant) to which it is assigned. You must re-record all menu
prompts that are affected.
