Setting Absence Text - Avaya 4400 User Manual

Setting Absence Text

You can set some absence text that then appears on your phone's display. The same text is also shown
on other extensions with suitable displays, when they call you.
Setting an absence text does not redirect your calls in any way, that must be done using Call
Forwarding, Divert or Do not Disturb.
4406D+ and TransTalk MDW 9040 users can activate this feature via a short code.
To set your absence text:
1. Press Menu twice.
2. Press Next and then press ProgA.
3. Press Absnt.
4. To select an absence text, press CHNGE.
5. When the text required is shown, press DONE.
6. If you want some personal text to accompany your chosen message, press EDIT, otherwise
press NONE.
7. If you chose to have some personal text, press the dialling keys and Rotat to enter characters.
For example, to enter an L, press 5 and then press Rotat until L is displayed. When the text is as
you require, press Done. To backspace, press the top-left display key.
8. To display the message, press SET.
9. Press Exit.
To clear your absence text:
• Repeat the process above and press Clear (when available).
