The system has two prerecorded outgoing messages. One asks the caller to leave a message: “Hello, no one is available to take your call. Please leave a message after the tone.” The system uses this message when the recording time is set to ' or * (see “Setting the Record Time” on Page 28).
The other announcement does not allow the caller to leave a message: “Hello, no one is available to take your call. Please call again.” The system uses this message when the recording time is set to Announce Only.
You can also record your own message (see “Recording/Deleting an Outgoing Message” on Page 30). When you record your own outgoing message and select it, the system uses it for all recording time settings (', *, and 7).
