Checking New Messages
New messages are messages that have not been played. The system notifies you when you have new
messages.
The system plays all urgent messages first, then all regular messages. It also sorts your messages by
sender. If the system does not know who left a message, it says that the message is “from your message
box.”
After you listen to the messages from a subscriber, you can reply immediately; you do not have to dial the
subscriber’s extension.
To check new messages

2.
Access your mailbox.
Enter 4 to check new messages. Follow the system instructions. Enter 1 for Yes, 2 for No.

T

Leaving a Message
The system lets you leave voice messages for subscribers, groups, or guests. If you call a subscriber’s
extension and the call is unanswered, your call is automatically routed to the subscriber’s mailbox, where
you can leave a message. You can also leave messages directly in a subscriber’s mailbox.
If your telephone system uses identified subscriber messaging, the system automatically tags a message
from your assigned extension with your name.
If your telephone system does not use identified subscriber messaging or you are calling from another
subscriber’s extension, you need to identify yourself as a subscriber by entering your personal ID and
security code.
DIRECTORY ASSISTANCE
Your system may use automatic directory assistance, numeric directory assistance, or both, to help callers
find subscribers’ extension numbers.
Callers with letters on their telephones can use automatic directory assistance, which identifies subscribers
by their last names. All callers can use numeric directory assistance, which groups subscribers by
department, location, or other categories.
SPECIAL DELIVERY OPTIONS
When you leave an identified subscriber message, you can mark it with one or more of these special
delivery options:
Urgent
The message is played first, before regular messages.

Changing Your Greetings
Callers hear a greeting before they leave a message. Your mailbox can have one of three greetings:
standard, busy, or alternate. You can rerecord or switch between greetings only by telephone.
If you want to give your callers the option of activating your pager, add the following message to your
greeting: “or press 1 to beep my pager.”
STANDARD GREETING
The standard greeting plays when your extension is unanswered. A typical standard greeting is: “Hello, this
is Pat Green. I am not at my desk right now. Please leave a message.”
BUSY GREETING
The busy greeting plays when your extension is busy.4 A typical busy greeting is: “Hello, this is Pat Green. I
am on the telephone now. Please leave a message.” For callers to hear your busy greeting, you must
activate it.
If you do not want to use a separate busy greeting, then record a standard greeting for all situations when
you are unavailable. For example: “Hello, this is Pat Green. I am not available at this time. Please leave a
message.”
4 This feature may not be available at your site.
ALTERNATE GREETING
The alternate greeting plays for special occasions, such as a vacation. A typical alternate greeting is: “Hello,
this is Pat Green. I am out of the office today and will return tomorrow.”
When your alternate greeting is active, the system plays it instead of any of your other greetings.
SYSTEM-GENERATED GREETINGS
If you do not record greetings in your own voice, the system plays greetings that include your recorded
name or your extension. For example:
T
T
T
For a standard greeting, “Pat Green is not available right now.”
For a busy greeting, “Extension 1 2 3 is busy.”
For an alternate greeting, “Pat Green is out today.”

on another call, the system takes a message for you. If you will be away for a while, you can turn off call
transfer.
Your system manager can use a variety of call transfer options that control how calls are transferred to you.4
Depending on these options, you may hear one or more of the following prompts when you answer a call:
T
T
T
A beep indicates the call is from a number outside the system, not an internal extension.
“Call for <your name>.” This response is used if you share an extension with another person.
“Call from <caller’s name>.” This response means the call is from a subscriber on an internal
extension.
T
T
“Call from <caller’s name spoken by the caller>.” This response means that the call is from a number
outside the system, or from an internal extension that is not identified as a subscriber.
“Enter 1 to take the call, or 2 and I’ll take a message.” This response gives you a choice.
Turn on call transfer before transferring your calls to a different telephone number. You can enter up to nine
digits for the new telephone number.

not take the call, the system takes a message for you.

The system also tells callers how many calls are holding ahead of theirs.

manager sets the number of calls that the system can hold for you.

The system can dial up to four different telephone numbers to deliver your messages. You can set a range
of minutes, hours, and days that a message delivery telephone number is in effect.
You can tell the system to deliver only urgent messages or to delay any of the delivery numbers. This
causes the system to try one delivery number first, then to try others only if necessary.
Entering a pager number may require special dialing characters that are unavailable on a telephone (for
example, a semicolon that represents a 3-second pause). Contact your system manager for assistance.
Use the form below to plan your telephone numbers and schedules for message delivery.
