Your administrator determines which features are available for your telephone.
When a caller dials your telephone number and you are unable to answer the call, the
caller hears a recording and is prompted to leave a message. Before you can listen to
messages in your voice mailbox, you must record your name, a personal greeting, and
change the default password you use to access your mailbox.
Your administrator will provide you with the default password for initial mailbox access.
Typically, the default password is the last 4 digits of your telephone number. The first
time you access your voice mailbox, the system prompts you to change your password,
record your name, and record a personal greeting.
Note that the password you use to access your voice mailbox is not the same password
you use to log in to your telephone. When you change the default voicemail password in
the following procedure, you do not change the telephone login password.
To initialize your mailbox:
1) Lift the handset.
2) Press the message button on your telephone (see the chapter in this guide that
3) At the password prompt, use the keypad to enter your default password.

requirements; use digits only, * and # are invalid characters).
b Record a name announcement.
c Record a personal greeting.

entering a feature code. Configuration options and prompts are displayed on the
telephone Display Panel. See
