Initial Voice
Mailbox Setup
When a caller dials your telephone number and you are unable to answer
the call, the caller hears recording and is prompted to leave a message.
Before you can listen to messages in your voice mailbox, you must record
your name, a personal greeting, and change the default password you
use to access your mailbox.
Your administrator will provide you with the default password for initial
mailbox access. Typically, the default password is the last 4 digits of your
phone number. The first time you access your voice mailbox, the system
prompts you to change your password, record your name, and record a
personal greeting.
Note that the password you use to access your voice mailbox is the same
password you use to log in to your telephone. When you change the
default voicemail password in the following procedure, you automatically
change the telephone login password.
To initialize your mailbox:
1
Lift the handset.
2
Press the message button on your phone (see the chapter in this guide
that describes the buttons and controls for your particular phone model).
3
At the password prompt, use the keypad to enter your default password.
The voice prompt system describes the initialization process and
introduces the Setup Assistant function.
4
Follow the voice prompts to:
a
Enter a new password (ask your administrator for password length
requirements; use digits only, * and # are invalid characters).
b
Record a name announcement.
c
Record a personal greeting.
5
Hang up.
