Pick up the handset on your telephone and follow the voice prompts to 
set up these voice mail features:

■

Your Password — When your telephone is first installed, your voice 
mailbox has no password. To prevent anyone else from listening to 
your messages, you must set a password. 

■

Your Name Announcement — Your name announcement identifies 
your mailbox to callers who use the internal telephone directory.

■

Your Personal Greeting — Your personal greeting is heard by all 
callers when they reach your voice mail. Change your greeting as 
often as necessary to let callers know that you are away from your 
desk for an extended period of time, to say that you are on vacation, 
and so on.

To set up voice mail:

receiver, and press #.

Example: Hello, you have reached __________(name)___________ 

of ___________(organization)__________ at ___(extension)____. 

I am unavailable to take your call at the moment.

Please leave your name, number, and a brief message after the 

tone, and I will return your call as soon as possible.
