Answering System Operation
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
MENU
repeatedly until you hear “Change
Announce Only.” Then press
CHANGE
until you hear
the option you want (On or Off). Press the
PLAY/STOP
button to store your selection and exit, or press
MENU
again to modify other features (see page 31).
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 accepted.”
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 29 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.
