A330: Recapturing Glideslope

Hi all, just wondering what is the best method on the A330 to recapture your glidepath if you get the aural warning "Glideslope, Glideslope"

Thanks for your help!

Or if pure inattentiveness got you a tad low, you are at 2000 ft and it's clear skies. Add some thrust and get back up there?

The "glideslope -glideslope" warning is a 'hard' warning and the upper limit for this warning is 300' AGL. The 'soft' single warning starts at 1,000'. Therefore, a go-around might always be a sensible option.

I stand corrected.. have no knowledge of A330.
On the Boeing it's just a soft warning requiring correction.
