when the system answers a call. The Cordless Answering System 5630 allows you to record two different
announcements – A and B. Or, if you do not want to record your own announcement, the system provides a
brief, pre-recorded announcement. These announcement options are listed below.

example, you might want to use Announcement A for weekdays and Announcement B for weekends.
