Answering System Operation
Outgoing announcements
Outgoing announcements are the messages callers hear
when calls are answered by the answering system.
The phone is pre-programmed with announcements
for normal (Answer and Record) mode and for
Announcement Only mode (see page 31). If the phone
is set up to record messages (Announcement Only
mode is turned off), the phone answers calls with a pre-
recorded announcement that says “Hello. Please leave
a message after the tone.” You can use this announce-
ment, or replace it with a recording of your own voice
(see the following steps).
To record your outgoing announcement
Press
SETUP until you hear "Announcement. Press
PLAY or press RECORD. To continue setup, press
SETUP." Then press REC/MEMO and begin speaking
after you hear "Record after the tone. Press STOP
when you are done." Speak facing the telephone base
from about nine inches away. Press PLAY/STOP when
you are done.
Elapsed time (in seconds) will be shown in the message
window as you record. You can record an announce-
ment up to 90 seconds long. Announcements less than
three seconds long will not be recorded.
To delete your outgoing announcement
Press SETUP until you hear “Announcement. Press
PLAY or press RECORD. To continue setup, press
SETUP.” Then press PLAY/STOP to begin playback.
Press DELETE during playback to delete your announce-
ment.
When your announcement is deleted, calls will be
answered with the pre-programmed announcement
described above.
