AT&T Voice Messaging System Answering Machine User Manual


 
Introduction
The MERLIN MAIL
®
Voice Messaging System Release 3 acts like a
sophisticated answering machine that allows users to create, retrieve,
and forward messages. Callers from inside and outside your company
can leave messages in your mailbox, which you can listen to, forward,
save, or discard. A password you create keeps messages private.
You can also send messages, reply to messages, or add your comments
to a message and forward both to other people in your company. Your
MERLIN MAIL Voice Messaging System may operate in one language
(monolingual mode) or two languages (bilingual mode). The languages
supported are English (North American), French (Canadian), and
Spanish (Latin American) in monolingual mode, and English/French or
English/Spanish in bilingual mode.
If you have questions about system features and procedures, see your
system manager.
