The outgoing announcement is the message callers hear when calls are answered by the answering system.

If the answering system is on (see To turn on the answering system on page 43), the telephone automatically answers calls with “Hello, please leave a message after the tone.“ You can use this announcement, or replace it with a recording of your own.

To record your outgoing announcement

Use the following steps to record an outgoing announcement of your own.

1.Press SKIP/ANNC. The screen shows RECORD and the message window displays A.

2.Press SELECT. The screen shows USE STOP TO END with a long beep.

3.Speak towards the microphone (MIC) on the telephone and maintain a distance of about nine inches. You can record an announcement for up to two minutes. Announcements shorter than one second are not recorded.

4.Press PLAY/STOP to end the recording. The recorded announcement automatically plays back and then the telephone automatically returns to idle mode with a beep.

NOTE: If the recording memory is full, when you press SELECT in step 2, the answering system announces, “Memory is full.” The telephone automatically returns to idle mode. In this case, you need to delete some messages (page 46) and then record your new outgoing announcement.
