When recording the announcement, make sure you speak in a normal tone of voice about nine
inches from the telephone base.
Make sure there is no background noise (television, music, trafc, etc.) when recording.
My cordless handset

Make sure the power cord is securely plugged into the telephone base. Plug the unit into a
different working electrical outlet not controlled by a wall switch.
Move the handset closer to the telephone base. It may be out of range.
Reset the telephone base by unplugging the unit’s electrical power. Wait for 15 seconds
and plug it back in again. Allow up to one minute for the handset and the telephone base to
synchronize.
Other electronic products can cause interference to your cordless telephone. Try installing
your telephone as far away from these electronic devices as possible: wireless routers, radios,
radio towers, pager towers, cellular telephones, intercoms, room monitors, televisions, personal
computers, kitchen appliances and other cordless telephones.
