Outgoing Messages and Announcements Overview
You can record both an outgoing message and an announce-only message.
• Use the normal greeting when you want the system to record messages from
callers.
• Use an announce-only greeting when you want to give information to callers, but
you do not wish to accept messages.
NOTE: If you choose not to record your own greetings, the system provides pre-
recorded messages. The normal pre-recorded greeting says:
"Hello. I'm unable to answer your call right now. Please leave your name, number, and
a message after the tone."
The pre-recorded announce-only message says:
"Hello, I'm unable to answer your call right now. Please call again. Thank you."
To set which announcement your callers will hear when the system answers a call,
turn the announce feature on or off. (The system comes set to receive messages from
callers. Refer to “Answering System Feature Overview” for more information.)
