When recording announcements be sure to speak clearly, using a normal tone
of voice. When providing route numbers, pause between each one so that
when the message is played the caller has an opportunity to hear the number
he or she needs to enter. If you are transferring your announcements from a
tape recorder, make sure the volume is not set too high.
At the end of the time allocation to each message, you will hear a
NOTE:
beep. If you exceed the allocated time when recording your
announcement, you will hear the beep while you are talking. If time
is allocated to a message, a message must be recorded. You should
always provide a hold announcement to inform callers what to do if
the call transfer fails. Always play back your announcements as
indicated in step 7 to be sure they are recorded.
