Selecting the message record time

You have three record time options. The options “1 minute” , or “4 minutes” set the duration for recording the incoming messages. “Announce only” answers the call with the preset greeting or your personal greeting but prevents the caller from leaving a message.

You hear “Record time” and the current recording time ([ ] 1 minute, [ ] 4 minutes, [ ] Announce only), and it is displayed on the base.

▼Announce only feature

The announce only feature plays a prerecorded outgoing message “Hello, no one is available to take your call. Please call again.”, but it will not allow the caller to leave a message. To set “Announce only”, follow the steps above.

To scroll between the prerecorded message or your own personal greeting, press OGM when the outgoing message is played. If you want to use your own greeting, you may want to change your greeting to omit the prompt “to leave a message”. Refer to “Recording a personal outgoing message” (Greeting) on page 39.

Note

When using the Announce only feature, you may want to change your outgoing message if the message prompts the caller to leave a message. The prerecorded message changes automatically.
