2.1

Leave a Message

Enter the mailbox number for which you want to leave a message. Start recording the

message after you hear a tone and press any key to stop recording. After recording the
message, the

Press 1 to Send the Message and Return to the Previous Menu.

Press 2 to Listen to the Message.

Press 3 to Re-Record the Message.

Press # to Send the message and Hang-up.

Press 9 to Cancel and Return to Previous Menu.

If you press 1 at this stage, the message that you just recorded is sent to the recipient

and you will hear the main greeting being played back. You may now transfer the call

to any extension or repeat this process to leave a message to another user.

If  you  press  #,  the  message  is  sent  to  the  recipient  and  the  call  is  terminated.  If  you

press 9, the message that you just recorded is discarded and you will be returned to

the main greeting.
If you press 2, the just recorded message is played back and then the above prompt is

replayed so that you may choose the other options as desired. If you press 3, you will

be allowed to record your message again and the previous message is discarded.

2.2

Mailbox Options

If you press 2 for mailbox options, you are asked to enter your mailbox number. Enter

your mailbox number followed by the password. If your password is incorrect, you are

asked to re-enter the password. If you enter an incorrect password 3 times successively,

you will be asked to hang-up and the call is disconnected.

Once  you  are  logged  into  your  mailbox,  the

Synectix VMS  Lite

  plays  the  number  of

new (unread) and saved (already read) messages that you have in your mailbox. Then

Synectix VMS Lite

Press 2 to Listen to Saved Messages (2.2.2)

(If there is no Saved Message, this prompt is not played)
