Answering System Operation

Answering mode

In Answer + Record mode, callers are asked to leave a message. In Answer Only mode, callers hear an announcement but cannot leave messages. This option is useful, for example, to notify callers that you will be away for an extended period and request that they call back after a certain date.

To select answering mode

Select MENU then follow the steps at left to select the answering mode for each mailbox. Use the Vor ^ buttons to highlight a selection, then select OK.

Answer Only announcement

When Answer Only is turned on, calls are answered with a pre-recorded announcement that says “We’re sorry, messages to this number cannot be accepted”. You can use this announcement, or replace it with a record- ing of your own voice.

After turning on the Announce Only feature, follow the steps on page 30 to record your announcement. Callers will hear this announcement only when the Announce Only feature is turned on. Otherwise they will hear the standard announcement asking them to leave a message.
