Answering system operation
Announce only mode
In announce only mode, callers can hear your
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.
If you do not record an announcement, incoming
calls will be answered after 10 rings, but callers
will hear "No announcement" two beeps, then “The
machine will now hang up” after about 15 seconds,
and the caller will not be able to leave a message.
To record your outgoing announcement
Press and hold SKIP/ANNC. There is a beep
and the message window displays AO to prompt
you to begin recording new announcement. Speak
facing the telephone from about nine inches
away. To stop recording, release the button. The
message just recorded will play back. You can
record an announcement up to three minutes.
Announcements less than one second will not be
recorded. Press PLAY/STOP to exit.
To turn announce only on or off
Press and hold TAS SETUP until you hear "Selected
announcement is A. To select a different announce-
ment, press SKIP or REPEAT." Then press SKIP or
REPEAT until you hear the option you want:
•
A: Callers hear current outgoing announcement
and can leave messages.
•
Announce only: Callers hear current outgoing
announcement and cannot leave messages.

or press TAS SETUP again to change other features
