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. 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 55 to
change your announcement selection.
