ANSWERING SYSTEM OPERATION

AT THE BASE

Audible Indicators

This system gives you voice prompts for feature operations and voice confirmations when you press a button or complete an operation.

About Mailboxes

This answering system has three voice mailboxes. Callers using a touch tone phone can select the mailbox in which their messages will be recorded by pressing #1, #2, or #3after the system answers the call. All other messages will be recorded in Mailbox 1.

About Announcements

•You can record up to two different announcements — one for normal answering and one for when you’ve set the system to play the announcement only.

•Use normal answering when you want the system to record callers’ messages. Use Announce Only when you want to give information to callers without accepting messages.

•If you choose not to record an announcement, the system answers with a pre-recorded announcement.

•The normal answering pre-recorded announcement says: “Hello. I’m unable to answer your call right now. Please leave your name, number and message after the tone.” The Announce Only pre-recorded announcement says: “Hello. I’m unable to answer your call right now. Please call again. Thank you.”

•By setting Announce Only to On or Off, you decide which announcement your callers will hear when the system answers a call (the system comes set for normal answering, with Announce Only turned off). See “Set Announce Only” on page 14 to change your announcement selection.
