Using your Diverse2016 answering machine

When you cannot answer the phone, your Diverse 2016 will take messages. You can also make memo recordings (see page 40).

You can skip backwards and forwards through your messages and memos and delete one or all messages. The answering machine can be operated from any Diverse handset and from any other external phone provided it is a TouchtoneTM phone.

The Diverse 2016 also contains a default outgoing message.

Outgoing messages

You can record two different outgoing messages after which incoming callers can leave their message.

You can also, if desired, record a concluding announcement. This lets you warn callers that they have run out of time for recording their message.

A pre-recorded message is built into the Diverse 2016 as Message 1. This may be recorded over by yourself.

Note

Deleting your recorded message in announcement 1 will automatically reinstate the original default message. It is not possible to delete the default pre-recorded message.

Advisory announcement

You can record an advisory announcement.

This enables you to leave a statement for callers but does not allow them to leave a message.

Mains power failure

If the mains power fails, your OGM’s and any ICM’s and Memos that have been recorded will be saved. However, if the mains power fails for more than approximately 5 seconds, you will need to reset the time and day announcement.
