Answering system operation

Private outgoing announcement

The private outgoing announcement is played to callers who do not go through the auto attendant. If the 1080 is not an auto attendant, or if a call comes in on its private line, or if the ANSWER DELAY is shorter than the AUTO ATT DELAY (pages 49 and 58 of the installation guide), callers will hear this announcement, and their messages will go into the private mailbox.

The telephone is factory set with this announcement: “Hello. Please leave a message after the tone.” You can use this announcement, or replace it with a recording of your own.
