RECORDING YOUR GREETING
There are approximately 15 minutes of total recording time shared by your greeting and incoming messages. Your system comes with a prerecorded outgoing greeting: “Hello, please leave your message after the beep.”
To record your own personalized outgoing greeting:
To Record Your Greeting
1.Press and hold the GREETING button.
Note: You have a maximum of 30 seconds to record your outgoing greeting.
2.After you hear one beep, speak clearly towards the built in microphone (in the speaker holes).
3.When finished, release the GREETING button.
4.The unit will beep once and play back your recorded greeting.The message LEDs will be lit solid to indicate the unit is in Answer On mode.
Note: The FA970B has two personalized mailboxes.You have an option to have callers leave messages in either of the two mailboxes.
If you want the caller to leave a message in a particular mailbox, your greeting should instruct the callers to press either the “1#” or “2#” button before their message recording. If the caller doesn’t press a key, presses a key other than “1#” or “2#”, or waits longer than 3 seconds before pressing a key, the caller’s message will be automatically recorded in Mailbox 1.
Sample Message:
“Hello, this is ______________.
I can’t come to the phone right now, but please leave your name and phone number after you hear the beep. I’ll return your call as soon as possible. If you wish to leave a message specifically for Bob, press “1#”, for Joan, press “2#”. Thank you for calling.”
Note: If the FA970B beeps while recording, you have exceeded the 30 seconds time limit. Record a shorter greeting, by repeating the steps above.
To Check the Greeting
1.To check the greeting, press and release the GREETING button quickly.
2.Your outgoing greeting will be played back to you, and then your system will reset to answer incoming calls.
