Time available for customized greetings
You have a total of 96 seconds of recording time to allocate to all greetings.
If you begin by recording a 15-second company greeting, there are
81 seconds available for the remaining greetings (96-15=81). The
maximum length of a single recording is 32 seconds. If you exceed the
maximum time for a single recording, an error message, accompanied by a
tone, is given.
A greeting that is turned off is not erased. The time used by the greeting
does not return to the 96-second time pool.
User-recorded greetings are stored on the feature card. The recordings are
erased when the card is replaced. If the same card is removed then
reinserted, the recordings are preserved. You must re-record all user-
recorded greetings when upgrading to a new feature card.
The pre-recorded system messages do not use any portion of the 96 seconds
of total recording time. They cannot be erased, but they can be turned off
or replaced with a user-recorded substitute.
System greetings are permanent and can never be erased.
FLASH memory degrades slightly each time a message is
recorded. Typically, messages can be erased and written
thousands of times. However, care must be taken to plan
out what messages are to be recorded and how often they
are to be changed in order to reduce the number of re-
recordings made over a long period of time. A warning is
given when the card has degraded significantly. Contact
your Customer Service Representative when this warning
occurs.
