Use normal answering when you want the system to record callers' messages. Use Announce Only when you want to give information to callers without accepting messages. If you choose not to record an announcement, the system answers with a pre-recorded announcement. Please leave a message after the tone.

" By setting Announce Only to On or Off, you decide which announcement your callers will hear when the system answers a call (the system comes set for normal answering, with Announce Only turned off).
