NNOUNCEMENT
If you choose to use the default announcement, callers will hear, "Please leave
your message after the tone."
This announcement also serves as the default announcement when the answer-
ing system loses power and is completely reset (unless you installed a 9-volt
battery). If you installed the battery and recorded a personalized outgoing
announcement, your answerer does not default to this announcement because
your personalized outgoing announcement is retained in memory by the
battery power.
If you recorded a personalized outgoing announcement and then decide that
you want to use the default announcement instead, press the ANNOUNCE
button and release it within 1 second after the unit beeps.
R EVIEWING THE O UTGOING A NNOUNCEMENT
You can review the outgoing announcement by pressing and quickly releasing
the ANNOUNCE button.
NOTE: You can stop the outgoing announcement by pressing STOP while the
announcement is playing.
