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 press-
ing 1, 2 or 3. If the caller does not select a specific mailbox, their message 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 an announcement only.
• Use normal answering when you want the system to record callers’ mes-
sages. 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 mes-
sage 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.
