ANSWERING SYSTEM SET-UP
Announcement Options
Before using this answering system, you can record an announcement (up to 3 minutes long) that callers will hear when the system answers a call. When you record your announcement, make sure you indicate who has been assigned each mailbox, and that callers should press 1 or 2 to access the appropriate mailbox.
For example,
“Hello. You’ve reached Meadowlark Nursery. To leave a message for Ms. Arbor, press 1. To leave a message for Mr. Cardinal, press 2. If you don’t have a touch tone phone, wait for the tone.”
You can record up to three different announcements — A, B, and AO. Announce- ments A and B are used when you want the system to record callers’ messages. Announcement AO (announcement only) is used when you want to give informa- tion to callers. (Some businesses use this announcement to advise callers of their hours of operation.) By selecting A, B or AO, you decide which announcement your callers will hear when the system answers a call.
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.
