You can record up to two different
announcements — one for normal
answering and one for when you’ve set the
system to play the announcement only.

the system to record callers’ messages.
Use Announce Only when you want
your announcement to greet 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.”

your callers will hear when the system
answers a call (the system comes set
