Announce Only mode

In Announce Only mode, callers hear an announcement but cannot leave messages. This option is useful, for example, to notify callers that you will be away for an extended period and request that they call back after a certain date.

To turn Announce Only on or off

Press MENU repeatedly until you hear “Change Announce Only.” Then press CHANGE until you hear the option you want (On or Off). Press PLAY/STOP to store your selection and exit, or press MENU again to modify other features (see page 39).

To record your outgoing announcement

When Announce Only is turned on, calls are answered with a pre-recorded announcement that says “We’re sorry, messages to this number cannot be accepted.” You can use this announcement, or replace it with a recording of your own voice.

After turning on the Announce Only feature, follow the steps on page 37 to record your announcement. Callers will hear this announcement only when the Announce Only feature is turned on. Otherwise they will hear the standard announcement asking them to leave a message.
