  This field displays the first message, if present. Clicking on the drop down arrow 

located in the right corner of the field allows you to view all messages sorted by 
storage location number and allow selection of a particular message for editing. 
After selecting a message, the storage location is displayed. While a message is 
displayed you can edit and save the message if required. 

 

 

 
Code

  Each message must be stored with a unique location code. It is important that 

location codes are not skipped in order to be consistent with codes displayed at 
telephones using the feature. Up to 99 messages can be stored using code 
numbers from 1-99. Existing codes can be viewed by selecting the drop down in 
the right corner of the message field.
