Understanding greetings and tables so that the outgoing main message can be changed for the holidays do you set the greetings/tables to change based on the time of day?

Usually, the voicemail message is stored in the voicemail system, which is handset-independent. Call in to your voicemail (usually hold down the 1 key or look for the key with the envelope and hold it down - it will dial your voicemail account) and follow the prompts to set up your mailbox, and "change your greeting."

If you are using an Active Voice product (typical w/ NEC) you need to change the hours of operation on the voice mail system. "Night Mode" only changes the ringing characteristics of the phone system and where calls ring, not the greetings that play on the voice mail. The voice mail plays a particular greeting (Day/Night/Holiday) based on the time of day specified in the schedule. The system administrator for the voice mail would have to make this change.

This will work for setting a new greeting as well, you can use numbers 1,2,3 etc for the greeting numbers to set them at different times of day in the table.

For the DECT2180, press Mesage/Mute on any handset to access the answering system. Wait for the announcements to be finished or press 5 to skip. Then press 8. Wait for the message "record greeting" then begin speaking. Press 8 to stop recording. The system will play back the greeting. Press End to save the greeting and exit the system.

For the DECT2080, press and hold Greet on the base. When you hear "record greeting", start speaking your message. Press Greet again or the play/stop button to stop recording your message. Press Greet again to play back the current outgoing message.

Which Uniden do you have? There are several models. Manuals for all of the current ones are here: http://www.uniden.com/index/manuals_results.cfm?cat=59 .

Most models will be similar. Setting a new message when you call into the system is a totally different issue and not all Uniden phones support the feature. Read your manual.

I hope this helps.
