Questions About Message Waiting
How do extension users know there is a message
waiting for them?
The indication depends on the type of telephone being used.
A SUPERSET 3™ SUPERSET 3DN™ telephone or standard
telephone user hears Message Waiting Tone upon lifting the
handset. (If the user’s phone has a message lamp, the light
flashes). Users with a SUPERSET 4, SUPERSET 4DN™ or
SUPERSET 4000-series telephone receive a Message Waiting
indication on the set’s liquid crystal display.
When should I cancel Message Waiting notifications?
You can do it whenever it is convenient for you; however, it
saves time and effort to do so at the same time as you deliver
the message to the extension user.
While you are delivering the message to the extension,
1. Press Message .
2. Press [Clear MSG Waiting] .
3. Press Release when you finish the call.
