7.2Recording your greeting message

You can record your own greeting message for TAM/FAX mode, for a maximum of 16 seconds (default) or 60 seconds in length. We recommend you record a message of less than 12 seconds to make it easier to receive faxes. If a greeting message is not recorded, one of two pre-recorded greetings will be played when a call is received (page 61).

Suggested message: “This is (your name). We are unable to answer right now. To send a fax, start transmission. To leave a message for John, press {#} and {1}, for Jane press {#} and {2}, for Jack press {#} and {3}. Or just stay on the line and leave a message after the beep. Thank you.”
