Setting Up the Answering System

You can set up your answering system’s features from the base or handset with the exception of changing the outgoing message or greeting; you can only change the greeting or record a new greeting from the base. Only one station at a time can access the answering system menus.

Recording a Personal Greeting

Your answering system comes with a pre-recorded outgoing message or greeting that plays when you receive a call: “Hello, no one is available to take your call. Please leave a message after the tone.” You can record your own personal outgoing greeting. Your recorded greeting must be between two seconds and thirty seconds long.

1)On the base, press [menu/select].

2)Select the ANSW. SETUP menu, and then the RECORD GREETING submenu.

3)RECORD GREETING, START [SELECT] appears. Press [menu/select] to start the recording. Begin recording after the announcement. The message counter on the base LCD displays “30”, and then begins to count down.

4)When you finish recording, press [menu/select] again or press []. You will hear a confirmation tone, and your recorded greeting plays back for you.

Selecting a Greeting

Once you have recorded a personal greeting, the phone automatically switches to your personal greeting. You can also switch back and forth between the pre-recorded greeting and your own greeting at any time.

1)On the base, press [menu/select].

2)Select the ANSW. SETUP menu, and then the GREETING OPTIONS submenu.

The system plays the current greeting.

3)To keep this greeting, do nothing.

4)To switch to the other greeting, press [ ] or [ ] on the four-way function key while the system is playing the current greeting.

5)Each time you press [ ] or [ ], the system switches between the pre-recorded and the personal greeting. The last greeting you hear is used as the current greeting.
