Answering System Operation
Announce Only mode
In Announce Only mode, callers hear an announcement
but cannot leave messages. This option is useful, for
example, to notify callers that you will be away for an
extended period and request that they call back after a
certain date.
To turn Announce Only on or off
Press MENU repeatedly until you hear “Change
Announce Only.” Then press CHANGE until you hear
the option you want (On or Off). Press PLAY/STOP to
store your selection and exit, or press MENU again to
modify other features (see page 28).
To record your outgoing announcement
When Announce Only is turned on, calls are answered
with a pre-recorded announcement that says “We’re
sorry, messages to this number cannot be accepted.”
You can use this announcement, or replace it with a
recording of your own voice.
After turning on the Announce Only feature, follow the
steps on page 26 to record your announcement. Callers
will hear this announcement only when the Announce
Only feature is turned on. Otherwise they will hear the
standard announcement asking them to leave a message.

Outgoing announcements
Outgoing announcements are the messages callers hear
when calls are answered by the answering system.
The phone is pre-programmed with an announcement
that answers calls with “Hello. Please leave a message
after the tone.” You can use this announcement, or
replace it with a recording of your own voice.
To record your outgoing announcement
Press MENU until you hear “Change announcement.”
Then press RECORD and begin speaking after you hear
“Now recording.” Speak facing the telephone base from
about 9 inches away.
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 3
seconds long will not be recorded.
To delete your outgoing announcement
Press MENU until you hear “Change announcement,”
then press PLAY/STOP to begin playback. Press DELETE
during playback to delete your announcement.
When your announcement is deleted, calls will be
answered with the pre-programmed announcement
described above.
