Answering System Operation

Outgoing announcements

Outgoing announcements are the messages callers hear when calls are answered by the answering system.

The phone is pre-programmed with an announcement that 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 @MENU repeatedly until you hear “Change announcement.” Then press @REC and begin speaking after you hear “Now recording.” Speak facing the tele- phone base from about 9 inches away. Press @PLAY/STOP to stop the recording.

Elapsed time (in seconds) will be shown in the message window as you record. You can record an announce- ment up to 90 seconds long. Announcements less than 3 seconds long will not be recorded.

To delete your outgoing announcement

Press @MENU repeatedly until you hear “Change announcement,” then press @PLAY/STOP button to begin playback. Press @DELETE during playback to delete your announcement.

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