Auto Attendant Sequence for Callers
When Auto-Attendant is on, this phone automatically picks up a ringing line after the
pickup time you programmed, and plays the designated Auto-Attendant greeting. When a
caller enters an extension number after hearing the greeting, the Auto-Attendant transfers
the call to that extension. If the requested extension doesn’t pick up within 45 seconds, the
Auto-Attendant takes the call back and plays the general greeting. If Auto-Attendant unit
is in use, the call will be placed on hold.
If the caller does not enter an extension number after hearing the message, the
Auto-Attendant waits about 5 seconds and replays the ATTENDANT OGA (out-going
announcement) for the caller. If the caller still does not enter an extension number within
5 seconds;
a) the Greeting Only OGA “Sorry, no one is available to answer the call. Please call again.”
will be played if the answering system is set to off.
b) the greeting “Welcome to general delivery mailbox. Please leave your name and phone
number after the tone.” will be played if the answering system is set to on and
mailbox sets to general.
If the caller presses 00 after hearing the message, the Auto-Attendant Auxiliary
Outgoing Message plays. The caller can then enter an extension number, and the call will
be redirected.
Recording Auto Attendant Greetings
There are three different Auto Attendant outgoing messages. They are Day Greeting, Night
Greeting and Auxiliary Greeting.
Day Greeting is played during the time you set as day time. The Default Day Greeting is
“Hello, please enter your party’s extension. If you do not know the extension number, press
zero (0), zero (0).”
Night Greeting is played during the time you set as night time. The Default Night Greeting
is “Hello, please enter your party’s extension. If you do not know the extension number,
press zero (0), zero (0).”
Auxiliary Greeting is played when an outside caller presses the “0” key twice after hearing
the Day or Night message. It is supposed to be recorded by you to tell the caller about the
extension number list. The Default Auxiliary Greeting is “Please enter your party’s exten-
sion.”
You can follow the procedures listed below to record the your own greeting.
NOTE: When recording your own Day or Night Greeting be sure to include the following
statement to inform your callers of the extension list. “If you do not know the extension
number, press zero (0), zero (0).”
