Basics
You hear...
messages - recorded by an incoming
caller when you do not answer their
call.
voice tags - recordings you make,
when entering numbers and names in
the Directory, to announce the name
of the incoming caller.
mailbox tags - heard when you call
your Venture from a remote site to
retrieve messages. Some tags are
prerecorded, others you need to
record.
memos - recordings you make for
someone to play back on the Venture
set you recorded the message on.
Callers hear...
greetings - recorded by you for
incoming callers to hear when you do
not answer their call.
The Venture allows you to record a
general greeting or specific greetings
for each entry in your Directory and
also record specific greetings for its
various mailboxes.
Example:
General - "Hi! No one is available,
please leave a message." Everyone
will hear this greeting.
Specific - "Hi Mom! Leave a
message, I'll call back shortly." Only
someone calling from "Mom's"
telephone number will hear this
greeting.
