Answering System Setup

Recording the Outgoing Announcement

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 not available to take
your call. Please leave a message. 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 announcement
after the tone," and the screen displays TO RECORD. After the tone, you have 30
seconds to record your greeting.
3. Release ANNOUNCE when you finish.
• To review the greeting, press and release ANNOUNCE. The unit plays back your
greeting automatically.
