Answering System Operation

Recording Your Outgoing Messages

Your Answering System provides one primary mailbox and four individual mailboxes
(1, 2, 3, 4) which can receive their own incoming messages. Before using your
Answering System, it is suggested that you record an Outgoing Message (OGM).
This is the announcement callers will hear when the system answers a call.
A pre-recorded system announcement "Hello, please leave a message after the
tone." is made available if you choose not to record your own outgoing message.
A. Recording your OGM in Primary Mailbox
1. Press and hold down the OGM button to record your message.
2. Begin speaking right after you hear "Please begin speaking after the tone." Do
not release the button until you have completed your message. Length of OGM
less than 3 seconds will not be accepted.
3. Release the OGM button one second after your message is completed.
Your recorded message will be played after releasing the button.
If you wish to change your OGM, repeat steps 1 through 3.
It is recommended that you record an OGM on your primary mailbox instructing a
caller to leave an incoming message on one of the four mailboxes. If the caller is
using a Tone telephone, this will enable the caller to record an incoming message
directly on one of the four mailboxes by dialing "11" for mailbox 1, "22" for mailbox 2,
"33" for mailbox 3, "44" for mailbox 4.
Example of Primary OGM: "Hello, please leave a message after the tone, or if you
are using a Tone telephone, please Dial 11 for Mary, Dial 22 for Tommy, Dial 33 for
Peter, Dial 44 for Samson".
Note: To check your OGM, press the OGM button. If you did not place any
OGM, it will announce "You have no OGM."
B. Recording your OGM for Individual Mailbox 1, 2, 3 or 4
1. Press a mailbox button, the corresponding mailbox indicator will blink.
2. Press and hold down the OGM button to record your message.
3. Begin speaking right after you hear "Please begin speaking after the tone." Do
not release the button until you have completed your message. Length of OGM
less than 3 seconds will not be accepted.
4. Release the OGM button one second after your message is completed.
Your recorded message will be played after releasing the button.
If you wish to change your OGM, repeat steps 1 through 4.
