To post messages, you must program a

posted messages whether or not you have a
display phone. A posted message appears on
the display of any inside caller who tries to
reach you as long as that person has a display
phone. (If you have a display phone, you also
see the message posted at your own phone as
a reminder.) There may be as many as 20
messages available to you for posting.
Message 1 is always DO NOT DISTURB *; the
others may include such choices as: OUT TO
LUNCH , OUT SICK , IN A MEETING , depending
on how your system manager has programmed
them. Here are the messages that come with
the system:

button and dial the 2-digit code for the
message (01–20).
To cancel a posted message:
Press the programmed Posted Messages
button and dial 00.
* If you use the Do Not Disturb feature (p. 19) and
have a programmed Posted Messages button,
the appropriate message is posted. When you turn
off the Do Not Disturb feature, the posted message
is canceled, too. However, posting or canceling the
message does not activate or deactivate the feature.
