That is not an Outgoing message box I am familiar with but you are
correct about the message transferring from CD to units memory
that's how most of them work. Try popping a new message CD into it
and push couple buttons and see what happens. Some of them did it
auto once CD was pushed in then ejected when memory synced. Kinda
looks like one of the Muzak ones I have seen but they usually have
sticker etc on them. is it possibly Bogen they made them for a while
?


Nick,

Since there is a current message already working(just needs updated)
I need to have a "good" new message ready on CD before I experiment
otherwise I erase the current and have crap as the replacement.
(not the best solution)  For this customer it would be better to
trash this unit and get new with proper doc's.   I am thinking new
to be with USB Flash Stick.  I just find it amazing that the mfg.
did not Brand the dang thing.  Oh, and it says "Made in USA" on the
case.
