Want to eliminate lengthy pre-recorded greeting/instruction

Marianne
If a personal greeting has not been stored, the pre-recorded greeting is played.
unfortunately the user manual does not say how to store a greeting but I am assuming you have to press 2 to accept the new recorded greeting and hopefully it will store the recording as it is not really explained in the user manual on the process on how to store a greeting.

Are you pressing two (2) to accept the greeting after you record it ?

Here is the manual for your phone. You can download the manual and the instructions for setting up your answering machine are on page 43:

Setting Up the Answering System
You can set up your answering system's features from the handset. Only one handset at a time can access the answering system menus.

Note: If you have multiple bases, select the base with answering system you want to access (see page 15).

Recording a Personal Greeting
Your answering system comes with a pre-recorded outgoing message or greeting that plays when you receive a call: "Hello, no one is available to take your call. Please leave a message after the tone." You can record your own personal outgoing greeting. Your recorded greeting must be between two seconds and thirty seconds long.

Press /mute. The system announces the number of new and old messages, then starts to play the messages unless it has no messages.

Press 5 to stop the announcements or message playback. You will hear intermittent beeps indicating that the system is in the command waiting mode.

Press 8 to start the recording. The system announces, "Record greeting." Begin recording after the announcement.

When you finish recording, press 8 again or press 5. You will hear a confirmation tone, and your recorded greeting plays back for you.

also switch back and forth between the pre-recorded greeting and your own greeting at any time.

Press /mute. The system announces the number of new and old messages, then starts to play the messages unless it has no messages.
