About Announcements
•
You can record two different announcements — one for normal answering
and one for when you've set the system to play the announcement only.
•
Use normal answering when you want the system to record callers' mes-
sages. Use Announce Only when you want to give information to callers
without accepting messages.
•
If you choose not to record an announcement, the system answers with a
pre-recorded announcement.
•
The normal answering pre-recorded announcement says:" Hello. I'm unable to
answer your call right now. Please leave your name, number and a message
after the tone." The Announce Only pre-recorded announcement says: "Hello,
I'm unable to answer your call right now. Please call again. Thank you."
•
By setting Announce Only to ON or OFF, you decide which announcement your call-
ers will hear when the system answers a call (the system comes set for normal
answering, with Announce Only turned off). See "Set Announce Only" , lo-
cated in the Feature Summary chart later in this section, to change your
announcement selection.
