Selecting the Announcement

There are 2 choices of Announcements for two different auto answer mode:
Normal Out going message and Outgoing message for announcement
only.
To record the proper announcement, you should set the correct answering
mode first. It means, the normal OGM will be recorded if normal answering
mode is selected. As the same rule, the announcement only OGM will be
recorded if the announce-only mode is selected (see the menu setting of
announce-only setting). For the case of normal answering mode having
been set, the caller is able to leave his message. If you do not record your
own announcement, the factory default announcement:
" Hello, I'm unable to answer your call right now. Please leave your name,
number and the message after the tone ." will be used.(see Recording the
OGM's).
For the case of announce-only mode having been set, the caller is not able
to leave his message. If you do not record your own announcement, the
factory default announcement:
" Hello, I'm unable to answer your call right now. Please call again. Thank
you ." will be used (see Recording the OGM's).
Note that the announce-only message will be announced twice so that the
caller will not miss the important information.
Example for OGM's:
Example for OGM with public mailbox only (acts as standard answering
machine):
Hello. You've reached 555-1234, I can't come to the phone right now. Please
leave a message after the beep. Thank you .
Example for OGM (with all mailbox on):
Hi! We can't come to the phone right now. If you have a message for John
press '*', '2', if you have a message for Jane press '*', '3'. If you have a
message for any one of us press '*', '1' or just stay on the line and record after
the beep. Thank you .
