Outgoing announcements

Outgoing announcements are the messages call- ers hear when calls are answered by the answering system.

The phone is pre-programmed with announce- ments for normal (answer and record) mode and for announcement only mode (see page 34). If the phone is set up to record messages, the phone 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 voice.

To record your outgoing announcement

Press SETUP until you hear "Announcement. Press PLAY or press RECORD. To continue setup, press SETUP." Then press REC /MEMO and begin speaking after you hear "Record after the tone. Press STOP when you are done." Speak facing the telephone base from about nine inches away. Press PLAY/ STOP when you are done.

Elapsed time (in seconds) will be shown in the message window as you record. You can record an announcement up to 90 seconds long. Announcements less than three seconds long will not be recorded.

To delete your outgoing announcement

Press SETUP until you hear “Announcement. Press PLAY or press RECORD. To continue setup, press SETUP.” Then press PLAY /STOP to begin play- back. Press DELETE during playback to delete your announcement.

When your announcement is deleted, calls will be answered with the pre-programmed announcement described above.
