Outgoing messages
The outgoing message is the message a caller first hears when
the answering machine picks up their call. There are 2
prerecorded outgoing messages to choose from or you can
record your own.
Record your own outgoing message
Your D811 comes with two prerecorded outgoing messages,
Answer and Record or Answer Only, but if you wish you can
record your own.
ANSWER AND RECORD
The pre-set Answer and Record outgoing message, that allows
your caller to leave a message, is “Hello, your call cannot be
taken at the moment, so please leave your message after the
tone”.
Your Answer and Record outgoing message can be up to 3
minutes long and will replace the prerecorded message.
ANSWER ONLY
The pre-set Answer Only outgoing message, where callers hear
an announcement but cannot leave a message, is “Hello, your
call cannot be taken at the moment and you cannot leave a
message, so please call later”.
When recording your Answer Only message, remember to
advise your caller that they will not be able to leave a message.
Your Answer Only message can be up to 12 minutes long
(maximum recording length) and will replace the pre-recorded
message.
However, you should try to keep your message short to allow
time for recording memos, or incoming messages when using
Answer and Record mode.
