Recording the outgoing message

When recording a message...

Try to keep your message to less than 15 seconds long.

In the message tell your callers how to send a fax. Here’s a sample message:

“Hello. I’m not in the office right now, but please leave a message after the beep. I’ll return your call as soon as possible. If you would like to send a fax, press the start button on your fax after recording your message. Thank you.”

Leave 4 seconds pause at the beginning of the message (the 4 seconds pause plus the outgoing message should not exceed 15 seconds).

Set the answering machine to answer on the first or second ring.
