Description

Announcements are recordings of up to two minutes in length that are included as options on Automated Attendant Main Menus and Submenus. If the system is in bilingual mode, each Announcement consists of one recording in each language.

Announcements can be programmed only by you, the System Administrator. To program an Announcement, you must first record it. Then you can include it in Main Menu and Submenu definitions by assigning it a Selector Code and Action 3.

You can record up to 99 Announcements. You can include the same Announcement as an option on more than one menu.
