About Mailboxes
This answering system has three voice mailboxes. Callers using a touch tone
phone can select the mailbox in which their messages will be recorded
by pressing 1, 2 or 3. Otherwise, messages will be recorded in Mailbox 1.
About Announcements
• You can record two different announcements — one for normal answering
and one for when you’ve set the system to play the announcement only.
• Use normal answering when you want the system to record callers’
messages. Use Announce Only when you want to give information to
callers without accepting messages.
• If you choose not to record an announcement, the system answers with a
pre-recorded announcement.
• The normal answering pre-recorded announcement says: “Hello. I’m unable
to answer your call right now. Please leave your name, number and a
message after the tone.” The Announce Only pre-recorded
announcement says: “Hello, I’m unable to answer your call right now.
Please call again. Thank you.”
• By setting Announce Only to ON or OFF, you decide which announcement your
callers will hear when the system answers a call (the system comes set for
normal answering , with Announce Only turned off). See “Set Announce
Only” , located in the Feature Summary chart later in this section, to change
your announcement selection.
