Announcement AO (announce-only) — The TAD plays your
outgoing message, but does not record a message.
If you plan to use the TAD’s announce-only feature,
Announcement AO should clearly state that the caller cannot leave
a message.
When you record your announcement, make sure you indicate
who has been assigned to each mailbox and what callers should
do to access the appropriate mailbox.
For example,
You have reached the Jones residence. We are unable to
come to the phone right now, but you may press: 2 to leave a mes-
sage for Mary, 3 to leave a message for Susan, 4 to leave a mes-
sage for Paul, or just wait for the beep, then leave your message.
If you are recording an announcement for a business, you might
use:
Hello! You have reached XYZ Company. To leave a message
for Manufacturing, press 2; for Customer Service, press 3; for
Delivery, press 4. Or, you can leave a message after the beep.
Hint: Do not tell callers that you are out of town or not home. In-
stead, say that you cannot come to the phone right now.
Follow these steps to record your announcement.
