Recording an outgoing message (OGM)

1
Record 5 seconds of silence at the beginning of your message. This allows your machine time to listen for fax tones.
2
Limit your speaking to 20 seconds.
3
End your 20-second message by giving your Remote Activation code for people sending manual faxes. For example: “After the beep, leave a message or press Bsymbol.tone51 and Start to send a fax.”
Note Note
You need to turn the Remote Codes setting to on to use the Fax Activation Code Bsymbol.tone51. (See Using Remote Codes.)
We recommend beginning your OGM with an initial 5 second silence because the machine cannot hear fax tones over a loud voice. You may try leaving out this pause, but if your machine has trouble receiving faxes, then you should re-record the OGM to include it.
