Answering system operation
Private outgoing announcement
The private outgoing announcement is played to 
callers who do not go through the auto attendant.  
If the 1080 is not an auto attendant, or if a call 
comes in on its private line, or if the ANSWER 
DELAY is shorter than the AUTO ATT DELAY 
(pages 49 and 58 of the installation guide), callers 
hear the following announcement, and their 
messages go into the private mailbox. 
The telephone is factory set with this 
announcement: “Hello. Please leave a message 
after the tone.” You can use this announcement, 
or replace it with a recording of your own.
To record your announcement
The answering system uses the AUTOMATIC MODE 
set on page 39 of the installation guide to record 
announcements. If the AUTOMATIC MODE is 
SPEAKERPHONE (default), face the microphone 
(the MIC opening) on the telephone to record 
outgoing announcements. If the AUTOMATIC 
MODE is HEADSET, use the headset microphone 
to record announcements.
