Answering machine functions
Record, change, or delete the greeting
message
The answering machine comes with a pre-recorded,
standard greeting message that will play by default
when the answering machine picks up a call. Otherwise,
a custom greeting of up to 60 seconds can be recorded to
replace the standard greeting.
Example of a greeting message: Hello, you have reached
555-1234. We are unavailable to take your call at the
moment. Please leave a message after the tone.
Wording of the standard greeting: Hello. I am sorry but we
are unable to answer your call personally at the moment.
Please leave your message and telephone number after
the tone.
The length of any custom greeting must be at least three
seconds and must not exceed 60 seconds. Please note that
the longer the custom greeting is, the less recording time
will be available for incoming messages. The maximum
recording time available, including messages and the
custom greeting, is approximately 15 minutes.
