Answering System Operation ANSWER + RECORD Your VT20-2481 Answering System is set at the factory to record messages from your callers (ANSWER + RECORD mode). However, if you do not want callers to leave messages (for example: after business hours), you can program one or both Mailboxes to play your outgoing greeting and then hang up. This is known as ANSWER ONLY mode. NOTE: For each Mailbox, you can record an ANSWER + RECORD and ANSWER ONLY outgoing greeting. Your VT20-2481 Answering System will remember all 4 greetings - 2 for each Mailbox! If you do not record personal greetings, your VT20-2481 will play its own outgoing greetings. We recommend you record your own greetings, with a recognizable voice and customized announcement. Setting the Answer mode • From the idle mode, press MENU. • Scroll to MAILBOXES, then press OK. • Scroll to either MAILBOX SETUP line, then press OK. • With ANSWER + RECORD highlighted, press SET. • Scroll to ANSWER + RECORD (normal mode), or ANSWER ONLY. • Press OK.
