Message Waiting - Panasonic KX-TD816 Features Manual

Message Waiting

Description
The system supports the ability to inform the called party of a message waiting. The called
party, with a MESSAGE button, Another Extension Message Waiting button or a Phantom
Extension Message Waiting button knows there is a message if the MESSAGE button, Another
Extension Message Waiting button or Phantom Extension Message Waiting button LED (Light
Emitting Diode) lights red. If the button is not provided or assigned, the called party hears a
special dial tone, when he / she goes off-hook (MESSAGE button only). Pressing the lit
MESSAGE button, Another Extension Message Waiting button / Phantom Extension Message
Waiting button or dialing the Message Waiting feature number can call back the caller or listen
to messages which are stored in a mailbox in the Voice Processing System.
Conditions
• An extension user can assign a flexible CO button as the Another Extension Message
Waiting button or the Phantom Extension Message Waiting button in program "[005]
Flexible CO Button Assignment".
• For a proprietary telephone which does not have a MESSAGE button, a flexible CO button
can be assigned as the MESSAGE button either by System or Station Programming.

way as a MESSAGE button on the proprietary telephone by connecting a SLT Message
Waiting Lamp Adaptor Unit (KX-TD194) to the system. The message waiting lamp
lighting pattern can be selected from twelve patterns. System Programming is required to
use this feature.
• For single line telephone users without a message waiting lamp, the message waiting ring
tone can be sent to notify the user. The message waiting ring interval time is programmable
by System Programming (default: 0=no ring).
• Canceling a message can be performed from the sending extension or from the receiving
extension.
• The system supports a maximum of 128 simultaneous messages.
• Messages are always left on the original extension. They can not be sent to a Call
Forwarding or Station Hunting destination.
