Using a prerecorded greeting
message
If you erase or do not record your own
greeting message, the unit will play a
prerecorded greeting message for callers
and ask them to leave messages. If the
message recording time (page 35) is set to
“
Greeting Only
”
, caller messages will
not be recorded and the unit will play a
different prerecorded greeting message
asking callers to call again.
