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.
