About Mailboxes

caller does not select a specific mailbox, their message will be recorded in Mailbox 1.
About Announcements
•
You can record two different announcements one for normal answering and
one for when you’ve set the system to play an announcement only.
• Use normal answering when you want the system to record callers’ messages. Use
announce only when you want to give information to 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 am 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 am unable to
answer your call right now. Please call again. Thank you .”
• By setting announce Only to ON or OFF, you decide which announcement your
callers will hear when the system answers a call (the system comes set for normal
answering, with announce Only turned OFF). See Set, located in the Feature
Summary(page 26) chart later in this section, to change your announcement selection.
