AT&T 1854 - Manual (Page 8)

ANNOUNCEMENT OPTIONS
Announcements A and B are used when
you want the system to record callers'
messages.
Announcement AO (Announce Only) is
used when you want the system to play an
announcement and then hang up. This
option is often used by businesses. Even
if Announcement AO is selected, callers
who press * on a touch tone phone can
still leave a message.
Pre-Recorded Announcement
If you select Announcement A or B, but
do not record you own announcement, call-
ers will hear a prerecorded voice say,
“Hello. Please leave a message after the
tone.” There is no prerecorded announce-
ment for Announcement AO.
Call Match Announcement
Use Call Match announcement when you
want to play a special announcement for
certain callers (for example, calls from a
certain number, or calls whose identifying
information has been blocked). You can
also choose to have the system hang up
instead of letting the caller leave a mes-
sage. Call Matching is available only when
you subscribe to Caller Identification
Service offered by your local telephone
company.
