Answering System Operation

Outgoing announcements

Outgoing announcements are the messages callers hear when calls are answered by the answering system.

The phone is pre-programmed with an announcement that answers calls with “Hello. Please leave a message after the tone.” You can use this announcement, or replace it with a recording of your own voice.

To record your outgoing announcement

Press MENU until you hear “Change announcement.” Then press RECORD and begin speaking after you hear “Now recording.” Speak facing the telephone base from about 9 inches away.

Elapsed time (in seconds) will be shown in the message window as you record. You can record an announce- ment up to 90 seconds long. Announcements less than 3 seconds long will not be recorded.

To delete your outgoing announcement

Press MENU until you hear “Change announcement,” then press PLAY/STOP to begin playback. Press DELETE during playback to delete your announcement.

When your announcement is deleted, calls will be answered with the pre-programmed announcement described above.

Answering System Operation

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 28).

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 26 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.
