recorded. If you don’t record an outgoing announcement, callers hear a
default outgoing announcement, which says, “
PLEASE LEAVE YOUR
MESSAGE AFTER THE TONE.”
You can record two types of outgoing announcements, one to use for
global mailbox 1, or one to direct callers to leave messages in specific
mailboxes. This is especially useful for active families or small businesses.
When recording the outgoing announcement, you should be about 6
inches from the unit. This ensures the best recording quality. Eliminate as
much background noise as possible.
Both types of outgoing announcements are recorded by the following:
1. Prepare your outgoing announcement.
For example:
Sample Single Mailbox Outgoing announcement: Hi, this is (use your
name here), I can’t answer the phone right now, so please leave your name, number
and a brief message after the tone, and I’ll get back to you. Thanks.
Sample Multi-Mailbox Outgoing announcement: Hi, this is (use your name
here), We can’t answer the phone right now, so please press 1 to direct your message to
(name 1), press 2 to direct your message to (name 2), press 3 to direct your message to
(name 3). Leave your name, number and a brief message after the tone, and we’ll get
back to you. Thanks.
2. Press and hold the announce button. You will hear “ RECORD
ANNOUNCEMENT AFTER TONE”. After the tone, say your
outgoing announcement.
3. Release the announce button when you finish. The new recorded
outgoing announcement plays.
NOTE: You can direct callers to leave messages in a specific mailbox by having
them press the desired mailbox (1-3) after the outgoing announcement plays. If
no mailbox is selected, the incoming messages automatically go into mailbox 1.
