● This will allow the answering machine to answer the call first.

“This is (your name, business and/or telephone number). We are unable to
answer the phone right now. To send a fax, start transmission. To leave a
message, please speak after the beep. Thank you.”
● We recommend you record a message up to 10 seconds long, and not to pause for more
than 4 seconds during the message. Otherwise, both machines will not function correctly.
