7.1 Recording your
greeting message
You can record your own greeting message for
TAM/FAX mode or TAM ONLY mode, for a
maximum of 16 seconds (default) or 60 seconds
in length for each line or a common greeting
message for both lines. We recommend you
record a message of less than 12 seconds to
make it easier to receive faxes. If a greeting
message is not recorded, pre-recorded greeting
messages will be played when a call is received
(page 68).
Sample message for TAM/FAX mode: “This is
(your name). We are unable to answer right now.
To send a fax, please start transmission. To
leave a voice message please speak after the
beep. Thank you.”
Sample message for TAM ONLY mode: “This
is (your name). We are unable to answer right
now. To leave a voice message, please speak
after the beep. Thank you.”
1 To record a common greeting message
for both lines, press {LINE SELECT}
repeatedly until “LINE 1 and LINE 2” is
announced.
L “LINE1&LINE2” will be displayed.
To record a greeting message for either
line individually, press {LINE SELECT}
repeatedly until “LINE 1” or “LINE 2” is
announced.
L “LINE1” or “LINE2” will be displayed.

3 Within 10 seconds, press
{GREETING/REC} again.
L A long beep will sound.

from {MIC}.
L The display will show the remaining
recording time.
5 To stop recording, press {GREETING/REC}.
L You can also stop recording by pressing
{STOP}.
Note:
L If 6 beeps sound and the unit announces
“Your greeting was not recorded. Record your
greeting again.”, start again.
L You can change the maximum greeting
message recording time to 60 seconds
(feature #54 on page 82).
– If you change the setting to 60 seconds,
we recommend that you tell the caller in
your telephone answering machine
greeting message to press *9 before
starting fax transmission (TAM/FAX mode
only).
– 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.
L If you change the AUTO ANSWER setting
from TAM/FAX mode to TAM ONLY mode or
vice versa (feature #77* and feature #77#
on page 83), re-record an appropriate
greeting message for the selected mode.
L If you change the maximum recording time to
“GREETING ONLY” (feature #10* and
feature #10# on page 79, or feature 0621 and
feature 0622 on page 89), the unit will answer
a call with your current greeting message,
and then hang up. Re-record your greeting
message.
Sample message when the recording time
is set to “GREETING ONLY”: “This is (your
name). We are unable to answer right now.
Please try again later. Thank you.”
To check the greeting message
1. Select the line(s) by pressing {LINE
SELECT}.
2. Press {GREETING/CHECK}.

have separate greeting messages, the
greeting message for LINE 1 will be
played first.
