Playing back the announcement

Last Updated : Jul 16, 2015 |

About this task

After you complete a recording and hang up, do not immediately dial the extension. The new announcement remains busy for approximately 15 seconds. To play back the new announcement, dial the FAC, the announcement extension, and the number two before the 15–second timer expires.

Upon completion of the recording session, Communication Manager sets a timer for 15 seconds. During this interval, the system restricts you to one of two tasks:

Procedure

  1. Listen to the announcement just recorded.
  2. Record another announcement.

Result

To listen to the announcement before the announcement is available to others, dial the FAC, the extension, and the number two. The announcement plays the dial tone, you can perform another operation, such as record a message.

Note:

If a caller attempts to dial an announcement that does not exist, the caller hears silence. Therefore, ensure that you have copied the media file to the announcement source.
