About Mailboxes

This answering system offers you four voice mailboxes, providing a convenient way to share an answering system with other members of your household or business. Callers using a touch tone phone can select in which mailbox their messages will be recorded by pressing 1, 2, 3, or 4 after the system answers the call. Those not using a touch tone phone, or those who do not press 1, 2, 3, or 4, can still leave a message, which is automatically recorded in Mailbox 1.

Announcement Options

Before using this answering system, you should record an announcement (up to three minutes long) that callers will hear when the system answers a call. When you record this announcement, make sure you indicate who has been assigned each mailbox, and that caller s should press 1, 2, 3, or 4 to access the appropriate mailbox.

For example,

"Hello. You’ve reached Meadowlark Nursery. To leave a message for Ms. Arbor, press 2. To leave a message for Ms. Brooks, press 3. To leave a message for Mr. Cardinal, press 4. If you don’t have a touch tone phone, wait for the tone."

You can record up to three different announcements — A, B, and AO. Announcements A and B are used when you want the system to record callers’ messages. Announcement AO (Announcement Only) is used when you want to give information to callers. (Some businesses use this announcement to advise callers of their hours of operation.) By setting the ANNC SELECT switch to A, B, or AO, you decide which announcement your callers will hear when the system answers a call.

If you choose not to record an announcement for A or B, the system answers with a prerecorded announcement:

“Hello. Please leave a message after the tone.” The system does not have a

prerecorded announcement for AO.

Recording Y our Announcement

A total of about 24 minutes of recording time is available for announcements and messages. Each announcement can be up to three minutes long; however, shorter announcements leave more recording time for messages. For best results, record your announcement in a quiet environment, without “background” noise.

1 Move the ANNC SELECT switch,

located on the right side of the system, to the announcement you want to record.

2 Press and release g. The Message

Window displays CH.

3 Press and release A. The system

beeps. Speak toward the microphone normally, from about nine inches away. While you are recording, the Message Window displays the elapsed time of your recording.

4 Press S when you are finished.

The system automatically plays back your announcement.
