Answering System Set Up
Recording the Greeting
Before using your new answerer, you should record a greeting (the announcement
callers hear when your answering system answers a call). If you don't record a
greeting, callers hear a default greeting which says, "We are not available to take
your call. Please leave a message. Thank you for calling."
When recording the greeting you should be about 6 inches from the unit. Eliminate as
much background noise as possible.
1. Prepare your greeting.
Sample Greeting: "Hi, this is (use your name here). I can't answer the phone right
now, so please leave your name, number, and a brief message after the tone, and
I'll get back to you. Thanks for calling."
2. Hold down the GREETING button. The unit announces "Record your greeting after
the tone," and displays GREETING RECORD. After the tone, you have 30 seconds to
record your greeting.
3. Release GREETING when you finish.
• To review the greeting, press and release GREETING. The unit plays back your
greeting automatically.
• To return to the answerer's default greeting after you've recorded one, press
GREETING and release it when you hear the tone, or press and hold DELETE when
the greeting is playing.
