Using the
Answering Machine
The FO-475’s built-in answering machine allows you to receive both voice
messages and fax transmissions while you are out.
When the reception mode is set to ANS., the answering machine will
automatically answer incoming calls and play your outgoing message. Voice
callers can leave a message just as with any regular answering machine. If the
call is a fax transmission, the FO-475 will automatically receive it.
Recording an Outgoing Message
The outgoing message (OGM) is the greeting which is played after the
machine answers a call to inform callers that they can leave a message or
send a fax.
The answering machine has a general message box and three personal
message boxes. To use the answering machine, you must record an OGM for
the general box. To use a personal box, you must record an OGM for that box.
Example of an OGM for the general box:
"Hello, this is the Jones family. We are not at home right now. If you would
like to leave a general message, please speak after the beep. If you would like
to leave a private message, press "1" for John, "2" for Jane, or "3" for Billy
before the beep. If you would like to send a fax, press your facsimile Start
button."
Example of an OGM for a personal box:
"This is Jane’s personal box. Please leave a message after the beep."
