ECORDING THE
Before using your new answerer, you should record a
greeting (the announcement callers hear when your
answering system answers a call). Two greetings can be
recorded. If you don't record a greeting, callers hear a
default greeting which says, "After tone, record message."
You can record two types of greetings, one to use only
one mailbox, or one to direct callers to leave messages
in specific mailboxes. This is especially useful for active
families or small businesses.
When recording the greeting, you should be about 6
inches from the unit. This ensures the best recording
quality. Eliminate as much background noise as
possible.
Both types of greetings are recorded by the following:
1. Prepare your greeting.
Sample Single Mailbox Greeting: Hi, this is (use your
name here). I can't answer the phone right now, so please leave
your name, number, and a brief message after the tone, and I'll
get back to you. Thanks for calling.
Sample Multi-Mailbox Greeting: Hi, this is (use your
name here). We can't answer the phone right now, so please press
1 to direct your message to (name1), press 2 to direct your
message to (name2), press 3 to to direct your message to (name3),
press 4 to direct your message to (name4). Leave your name,
number, and a brief message after the tone, and we'll get back to
you. Thanks for calling.

REETING
NOTE: You can direct callers
to leave messages in a
specific mailbox by having
them press the desired
mailbox (1-4) after the
greeting plays. If no mailbox
is selected, the incoming
messages automatically go
into mailbox 1.
NOTE: The greeting must be
2 seconds or longer to be
valid.
