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.
