Changing the outgoing message

The outgoing message (OGM) of your answering machine should be
changed to inform callers who want to send a fax to press their Start
key. For example, your message might go as follows:
"Hello. You’ve reached the ABC company. No one is available to take
your call right now. Please leave a message after the beep or press
your facsimile Start key to send a fax. Thank you for calling."
Comments:
•• Try to keep the length of the message under 10 seconds. If it is too long, you
may have difficulty receiving fa xes se nt by automatic dialing.
•• If your outgoing message must be longer than 10 seconds, leave a pause of
about four seconds at the beginning of the message. This will give your fax a
chance to detect fax tones sent when autom atic dia li ng i s used.
