MESSAGE MONITORING AND CALL
INTERCEPTION
The message monitoring feature allows you to monitor
messages being recorded in your mailbox for you, by
external callers. When message monitoring is activated for
your telephone set, each of your calls will be answered by
the automated attendant, who will suggest that the caller
leave you a message. You can hear the message while it is
being recorded and decide whether you prefer to intercept
and answer the call or to have the caller leave a message.
You can program the monitoring time from your telephone
set, and to assign one of the fixed buttons on your tele-
phone set as a [MESSAGE MONITOR] button.
You must ask the system administrator to program the
message monitoring feature to be operative at your station.
This feature is not available on single line telephones or on
non-speakerphone digital or analog telephone sets.
To monitor your messages
1. Press your programmed [MESSAGE MONITOR]
but-
ton; the button lights up or an arrowhead appears next
to it, indicating that the feature is operative.
2. When a caller begins recording a message for you, the
caller’s voice can be heard -- through your telephone
set speaker -- and you can then decide if you want to
accept the call. At this stage, your telephone set will be
in mute mode, so that the caller cannot hear you.
