Special mailboxes.
Mailbox Greetings
Each of the 12 mailboxes on the 9516CW can have a specific greeting assigned to it. These
greetings are called Mailbox greetings.
Mailbox greetings allow you to assign a particular greeting to one or more callers. The
caller’s telephone number must match one of the numbers in the Directory and be assigned
to a mailbox. When a call is received from callers assigned to a mailbox, they will hear the
greeting assigned to that mailbox.
For example, John entered the numbers of his baseball teammates into his Directory and
assigned them all to one particular mailbox. Then he recorded a greeting for that mailbox
that contained information about baseball practice. Now, when any of his teammates calls
from a number he has stored in his Directory, the 9516CW plays the following message:
“Hi team, the baseball practice has been rescheduled to Friday. Leave me a message to
let me know if you can still attend.”
The 9516CW plays a factory-recorded General Greeting unless you record your own Gen-
eral Greeting. Each mailbox will contain the General Greeting (the factory-recorded one
or your own recorded one) until you record a unique mailbox greeting. You record mailbox
greetings in the Greeting list.
Sometimes callers choose not to listen to your greeting before recording a message. They
can press £ to skip your greeting and leave their message immediately.
