Setting the Record Time (or Announce only)
You can choose how many minutes (1 or 4) callers have to record a message. If you select Announce Only, the answering system answers the call but prevents callers from leaving a message.

While your answering system is set to Announce Only, the message counter on the base LCD displays “A.” If you are using the prerecorded greeting, the system automatically switches to the following message: “Hello, no one is available to take your call. Please call again.” If you are using a personal greeting, the system continues to use that greeting.
