minute” or “Unlimited” (up to 20 minutes).

When the recording time is set to “1 minute” or “unlimited”.

- “Hello, we are not available now. Please leave your name, message and phone
number after the beep. We will return your call.”

OR

- A “greeting only”. If you select “greeting only” (p.36) and set the answering system
