Recording announcements
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.
Before you start
■ 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.
Instructions
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
*56 from a phone or console.
You hear dial tone.
2. Dial the announcement extension
1234.
You hear dial tone.
3. Dial
1 to begin recording.
4. Record the message.
5. Gently hang up the phone to end recording.
NOTE:
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,.
