NOTE:  You must set the day manually. You may choose to set the time 
manually as well, although the time is automatically transmitted by 
your local phone company as part of Caller ID service. If you subscribe 
to Caller ID service, the current time is set automatically when you 
receive your first CID record.
Speaker Volume
Use the VOLUME (5 or 6) buttons to adjust speaker volume on the base to a 
comfortable level. L1 is the minimum speaker volume and L8 is the maximum.
Recording the Outgoing Announcement
For best results when recording, you should be about nine inches from the 
microphone, and eliminate as much background noise as possible.
You may record  outgoing announcements in the answerer or choose the default for 
your current outgoing announcement.
1.  Make sure the answering system is 
ON.
. Press and hold the ANNOUNCE 1 or ANNOUNCE  button until the speaker 
announces 
“RECORD ANNOUNCEMENT AFTER  TONE".
3. Begin speaking after you hear the beep.
4. Release the button when you finish your announcement.
NOTE: If you choose not to record an outgoing announcement, 
a default announcement plays instead. To return to the default 
announcement after you have recorded your own outgoing 
announcement, press the ANNOUNCE 1 or 2 button and release 
it when you hear the beep. Or, press the DELETE button while the 
announcement is playing.
