About Voice Mail
The Voice Mail system allows callers to send and receive recorded messages from
any keyset or touch-tone telephone.
The telephone system users are assigned “voice mailboxes” which usually have
numbers that match the users‘ extension numbers. However, sometimes an
“unassociated” mailbox can be programmed to signal a non-matching extension
number when it receives a message.
To make it easier to send messages to a large group of people, the Voice Mail
System Administrator can program “group lists“ of mailboxes. These lists can be
used by any Voice Mail user by entering the group list‘s number instead of a
mailbox number.
Initializing Your Mailbox
The first time you use your voice mailbox, you must initialize it. The Voice Mail
sys-tem will instruct you to:
• Change the default password number to a personal password
• Record a name to identify yourself in the company directory
• Listen to the Voice Mail introduction
To initialize your mailbox:
Dial the Voice Mail extension number. (by default 2500)
Press (*) to identify yourself as a subscriber.
Enter your mailbox number and default password. (Your default password
is your mailbox number.)
If you want to have a password, enter a new password using digits 0-9 (up
to 12 digits). Then press (#). If you do not want to use a password, just
press (#). The voicemail plays back your password. Press (#) to accept
the entry.
The system prompts you to record your directory name. After the tone, record
your name. When finished, press (#). Press (#) again to accept the name.
The system then plays a prompt that introduces you to the basic Voice Mail
features. (You can skip this introduction by pressing (#) if desired)
