> If you prefer a personal greeting, follow the instructions to
record your personal greeting. Callers will have several ways
to reach you, so your greeting should explain their options.
Here’s an example:
“Hello, this is
(give your name or number).
Please leave
a message after the tone. Or to page me, press
1
now and enter the call-back number where I can
reach you. I’ll return your call as soon as I can.
Thank you.”
> When you have finished setting up your Answering Machine,
press
G
to hang up.
Notification That You Have a Message.
After a caller leaves you a voice message, your Answering Machine
notifies you by sending a text message to your handset. (For
instructions on reading notification messages, see “Receiving A
Message” on p. 24.)
Each notification message sent to you will indicate the number of
new voice messages you have received.
While the notification message appears on your handset display, you
can listen to your voice messages immediately by pressing
F
.
(This will automatically dial * 1 2 3.)
(Note: model CF 388 has a special
Voice Mail
key; pressing this key
automatically dials the Omnipoint message center. For information
on setting up this function, see your Ericsson User’s Guide.)

USING YOUR
ANSWERING MACHINE
Voice messages are quick and easy to retrieve from your
Answering Machine – as easy as “1 2 3.”
Your Answering Machine is a powerful and flexible tool that you can
customize to meet your needs. It’s also how callers are able to send
you numeric pages, with information such as call-back numbers.
To Set Up Your Answering Machine.
After calling Customer Care to activate your Omnipoint account, one
of the first calls you make on your handset should be to set up your
personal Answering Machine. (All calls to your Answering Machine
will be charged at Off-Peak rates.) If you haven’t done it yet, here’s
how:
> Dial
A123
.
> Press
F
to place your call. You’ll be greeted by a friendly
set of recorded instructions to help you personalize your
Answering Machine. (You can change your Answering
Machine settings at any time by calling * 1 2 3 and giving new
instructions.)
> First, follow the instructions to create a private
password
to
prevent unauthorized access to your messages. Choose a
password that’s easy for you to remember. It must have at
least four digits and no more than seven digits. (Note: if you
forget your password, you’ll have to contact Customer Care
and set up your Answering Machine again – and any
messages it contains will be erased.)
> After you’ve chosen your password, you’ll be requested to
record your
name
to identify your Voice Mailbox. Your
recorded name will be used as part of a standard greeting.
