Announcement Options

This answering system lets you record up to four different announcements — A, B, C, and AO. Each can be presented to callers on either Line 1 or Line 2. You can assign the same announcement to be presented on both lines, or you can choose different announcements for each line.

NOTE: A total of about 22 minutes of recording time is available for your announcements and callers’ messages.

Use Announcements A, B, and C when you want the system to record callers’ messages. If you do not want to record your own announcement, or if a recorded announcement is lost in a power failure, the system provides a brief pre-recorded announcement.

Use Announcement AO (Announce Only) when you want the system to play an announcement and then hang up.There is no pre-recorded announcement for AO. If you choose AO, you must record an announcement for it.

Record Outgoing Announcement for a Line

NOTE: If you choose not to record an announcement, the system answers with a

pre-recorded announcement: “Hello. Please leave a message after the tone.”
