Answering System Operation

Answering mode

In Answer + Record mode, callers are asked to leave a
message. In Answer Only mode, callers hear an
announcement but cannot leave messages. This option
is useful, for example, to notify callers that you will be
away for an extended period and request that they call
back after a certain date.

To select answering mode

Select

MENU

then follow the steps at left to select the

answering mode for each mailbox. Use the

buttons to highlight a selection, then select

Answer Only announcement

When Answer Only is turned on, calls are answered
with a pre-recorded announcement that says

“We’re

sorry, messages to this number cannot be accepted”.

You

can use this announcement, or replace it with a record-
ing of your own voice.
After turning on the Announce Only feature, follow the
steps on page 30 to record your announcement. Callers
will hear this announcement only when the Announce
Only feature is turned on. Otherwise they will hear the
standard announcement asking them to leave a message.
