Your t 2453 telephone system gives you voice prompts for feature opera-

About Mailboxes
This answering system has three voice mailboxes. Callers using a touch tone
phone can select the mailbox in which their messages will be recorded
by pressing 1, 2 or 3. Otherwise, messages will be recorded in Mailbox 1.
About Announcements
• You can record two different announcements — one for normal answering
and one for when you’ve set the system to play the announcement only.
• Use normal answering when you want the system to record callers’
messages. Use Announce Only when you want to give information to
callers without accepting messages.
• If you choose not to record an announcement, the system answers with a
pre-recorded announcement.
• The normal answering pre-recorded announcement says: “Hello. I’m unable to
answer your call right now. Please leave your name, number and a
message after the tone.” The Announce Only pre-recorded
announcement says: “Hello, I’m unable to answer your call right now. Please
call again. Thank you.”
• By setting Announce Only to ON or OFF, you decide which announcement your
callers will hear when the system answers a call (the system comes set for
normal answering, with Announce Only turned off). See Set Announce
Only, located in the Feature Summary chart later in this section, to change
your announcement selection.
