Recording the Greeting

Before using your new answerer, you should record a greeting (the announcement
callers hear when your answering system answers a call). If you don't record a
greeting, callers hear a default greeting which says, "We are unavailable to take
your call. Please leave a message and thank you for calling."
When recording the greeting you should be about 6 inches from the unit. Eliminate as
much background noise as possible.
1. Prepare your greeting.
Sample 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."
2. Hold down the ANNOUNCE button. The unit announces "Record your
announcement after the tone," and displays ANNOUNCE RECORD. After the tone,
you have 30 seconds to record your greeting.
3. Release the ANNOUNCE button when you finish.
• To review the greeting, press and release the ANNOUNCE button. The unit plays
back your greeting automatically.
• To return to the answerer's default greeting after you've recorded one, press the
ANNOUNCE button and release it when you hear the tone, or press and hold the
DELETE button when the greeting is playing.
