About Mailboxes

This answering system offers three voice
mailboxes, providing a convenient way to
share an answering system with other
members of your household or business.
Callers using a touch tone phone can
select the mailbox in which their
messages will be recorded by pressing 1, 2
or 3 after the system answers the call.
Those not using a touch tone phone, or
those who do not press 1, 2 or 3, can still
leave a message, which is automatically
recorded in Mailbox 1.

Announcement Options

Before using this answering system, you
should record an announcement (up to
three minutes long) that callers will hear
when the system answers a call. Callers
can skip the announcement by pressing #.
When you record an announcement, make
sure you indicate who has been assigned
each mailbox, and that callers should press
1, 2 or 3 to access the appropriate
mailbox.
For example,
"Hello. You've reached Meadowlark
Nursery. To leave a message for Ms.
Rose, press 1. To leave a message for
Ms. Arbor, press 2. To leave a
message for Ms. Brooks, press 3. If
you don't have a touch-tone phone,
wait for the tone. "
You can record up to four different
announcements — A, , C, and AO.
Announcements A, , and C are used
when you want the system to record
until the
callers' messages. Announcement AO
(announcement only) is used when
you want to give information to callers.
By selecting A, , C, and AO, you decide
which announcement your callers will
hear when the system answers a call.
If you choose not to record an
announcement for A, , or C, the
system answers with a prerecorded
announcement: "Hello. Please leave a
message after the tone." The system does
not have a prerecorded announcement for
AO.
