From the Handset or Base Unit:
Great job!! You are now ready to record your outgoing greetings
RECORDING OUTGOING GREETINGS (ANNOUNCEMENTS)
Your VT20-2481 Answering System is set at the factory to record messages from
your callers (ANSWER + RECORD mode). However, if you do not want callers
to leave messages (for example: after business hours), you can program one or
both Mailboxes to play your outgoing greeting and then hang up. This is known
as ANSWER ONLY mode.
NOTE: For each Mailbox, you can record an ANSWER + RECORD and ANSWER ONLY outgoing greeting. Your VT20-2481 Answering System will remember all 4 greetings - 2 for each Mailbox!
If you do not record personal greetings, your VT20-2481 will play its own
outgoing greetings. We recommend you record your own greetings, with a
recognizable voice and customized announcement.
