j Recording the outgoing message
When recording a message...
¶ Try to keep your message to less than 15 seconds long.
¶ In the message tell your callers how to send a fax.
¶ Here’s a sample message:
¶ ″Hello. I’m not in the office right now, but please leave a message after the beep. I’ll return your call
as soon as possible. If you would like to send a fax, press the start button on your fax after recording
your message. Thank you.″
¶ Leave a 4-second pause at the beginning of the message (this pause plus the outgoing message should
not exceed 15 seconds).
¶ Set the answering machine to answer on the first or second ring.
