Operating Instructions

6.1 Recording your greeting
message
The unit has 2 pre-recorded greeting messages for TAM/
FAX mode. If you record your own greeting message, it
will be played instead of the pre-recorded greeting
message when a call is received.
The maximum recording time of your greeting message
is either 16 seconds (default) or 60 seconds. We
recommend you record a message of less than 12
seconds to make it easier to receive faxes.
Make sure feature #77 is set to TAM/FAX beforehand
(page 44).
Important:
R When callers leave messages, the unit records
the day and time of each message. Make sure the
date and time have been set correctly (page 19).
1 MGREETING RECN
R A long beep will sound.
2 Speak clearly about 20 cm away from MMICN.
3 When finished recording, press MSTOPN.
Note:
R You can change the maximum TAM/FAX greeting
message time to 60 seconds (feature #54 on
page 43).
If you change the setting to 60 seconds, we
recommend that you tell the caller in your TAM/
FAX greeting message to press G9 before
starting the fax transmission.
If you change the setting from 60 seconds to 16
seconds, your current greeting message will be
deleted. The pre-recorded greeting message will
be played when a call is received.
R If you change the maximum recording time of
incoming messages to GREETING ONLY (feature
#10 on page 39), the unit will answer a call with your
current greeting message, and then hang up.
