Recording the Greeting

Before using your new answering system, you should record a greeting

(the announcement callers hear when your answering system answers a call). If you don’t record a greeting, callers hear a default greeting which says, “We are unavailable to take your call. Please leave a message.

Thank you for calling.”

When recording the greeting you should be about 20 centimeters from the unit and eliminate as much background noise as possible. This ensures the best recording quality.

1.Prepare your greeting.

Sample Greeting: Hi, this is (use your name here). I can’t answer the phone right now, so please leave your name, number, and a brief message after the tone, and I’ll get back to you. Thank you for calling.

2.Hold down the GREETING button. The answering system announces, “Record greeting after tone.” After the tone you have 30 seconds to record your greeting.

3.Release the GREETING button when you finish. The unit beeps, and the greeting plays back automatically.

Reviewing the Greeting

To review the greeting, press and quickly release the GREETING button. The unit plays the current greeting.

Erasing the Greeting

If you want to erase your greeting, press and hold the ERASE button while your recorded greeting is playing. The default greeting will be restored.

NOTE: Your recording time should not be less than two seconds. Otherwise the unit will return to the default greeting.

Changing the Settings

This function allows you to change the Language, Time/Day, Rings to Answer, Message Time and Security Code settings.

NOTE: User can exit the set-up menu at any time by pressing the STOP button.
