Announce Only mode
In Announce 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 turn Announce Only on or off
Press
@

Announce Only.” Then press @
CHANGE

To record your outgoing announcement
When Announce Only is turned on, calls are answered
with a pre-recorded announcement that says “We’re
sorry, messages to this number cannot be accept-
ed.” You can use this announcement, or replace it with
a recording of your own voice.
After turning on the Announce Only feature, follow the
steps on page 27 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.
