RECORDING THE OUTGOING ANNOUNCEMENT
When recording your outgoing announcement, you should be about 9 inches
from the MIC, located on the front of the unit, and eliminate as much back-
ground noise as possible.
1. Press and hold the ANNOUNCE button.
2. Begin talking after you hear the tone.
3. Release the button when you finish your announcement.
SAMPLE OUTGOING ANNOUNCEMENT
Hi, this is (use your name here), I can't answer the phone right now, so please leave your name,
number and a brief message after the tone, and I'll get back to you. Thanks.
REVIEWING THE OUTGOING ANNOUNCEMENT
You can review the outgoing announcement by pressing and quickly releasing
the ANNOUNCEMENT button.
USING THE DEFAULT ANNOUNCEMENT
Your answering system is equipped with a default announcement that says
"Please leave your message after the tone."
This announcement serves as the
default announcement each time the answering system loses power and is
completely reset.
If you installed a battery, your answerer does not default to this announcement
when the answerer loses power because your personalized outgoing
announcement is retained in memory by the battery power. To set the default
announcement manually; press the ANNOUNCEMENT button and release
within one second after the unit beeps.
NOTE: You can stop the outgoing announcement by pressing STOP while the
announcement is playing.
