Record Your Announcement from the Base

•You can record up to three different announcements — A, B, and AO

— that callers will hear when the system answers a call. Each announcement can be up to three minutes long.

•Announcements A and B are used when you want the system to record callers’ messages. Announcement AO (Announce Only) is used when you want to give information to callers without accepting messages.

•If you choose not to record an announcement for A or B, the system answers with a prerecorded announcement: “Hello. Please leave a message after the tone.” The system does not have a prerecorded announcement for AO.

•For Announcements A and B, make sure you indicate in your announcement who has been assigned to each mailbox, and that callers should press 1or 2to access the appropriate mailbox.

NOTE: For best sound quality, record your announcement from the cordless handset (see “Remote Access Commands” in ANSWERING SYSTEM OPERATION At Cordless Handset or Touch Tone Phone on page 35).

1If the announcement you want to record is the currently selected announcement (A, B, or AO) go to Step 2. If not, select the announcement by following the instructions in “Select Your Announcement” on page 11, then go to Step 2 below.

2Press *(CHANGE) on the base.

3Press 7(ANNC) .

4At the prompt, begin recording your announcement. Speak in a normal tone of voice, about nine inches from the microphone.

5When you are finished, press Xor x. If the announcement did not record successfully, you’ll hear an error tone. Record the announcement again.

To review the announcement at any time, press 7(ANNC).

NOTE: The total recording time for this system is about 12 minutes. Since all messages, memos, and announcements contribute to that time, a short outgoing announcement is recommended.
