Recording Outgoing Messages (OGM)
The system has a built-in outgoing message that says, “Hello,
please leave a message after the tone.” Use this message or
record your own.
Hold down ANNOUNCE . When the system beeps, speak clearly
into the microphone from about 10 inches away. Release AN-
NOUNCE when you finish your message. The system automati-
cally plays back your recorded message.
Notes:
• A new OGM must be longer than 1 second or the system
disregards it and uses the default OGM.
• The maximum length for an outgoing message is 30 sec-
onds. When it reaches the maximum outgoing message
length, the system sounds 3 tones and plays the portion of
the message the system recorded.
• If you record your own message and subsequently decide
to use the prerecorded message, press ANNOUNCE to play
the OGM, then press DELETE during playback to erase the
recorded message.
To hear the outgoing message at any time, press ANNOUNCE .
To stop listening to the outgoing message before it ends, press
ON/OFF/STOP .
