.

9. Press 

ENTER

 to save your work.

You can record an announcement for callers to hear when they dial a specific 
extension. You can use the same steps to change an existing announcement.

If you want to change an announcement that is recorded on a circuit pack without 
memory, you have to delete the original message and record a new announcement. 
Refer to 

‘‘Deleting and erasing announcements’’ on page 372

.

■

You need to have a phone or console with a class of service (COS) that 
provides console permissions to record announcements.

Refer to 

‘‘Command Permission Categories’’ on page 536

 for more 

information on COS permissions.

To record an announcement to extension 1234, or change the announcement 
already recorded there, we’ll use a phone with console permissions. In our 
example, the announcement feature access code is *56.

To record or change the announcement:

1. Dial 

 from a phone or console. 

You hear dial tone.

2. Dial the announcement extension

.

You hear dial tone.

3. Dial 

 to begin recording.

4. Record the message.

5. Gently hang up the phone to end recording.

The announcement records the sound of the receiver returning to the 
phone. To prevent this from happening, press the drop button, depress 
the switch hook with your finger, or hang up gently,.
