Sending And Receiving
Non-Verbal Messages
8.1 Using The Messaging Feature
If the system installer designates your speakerphone as a central message
desk or programs it to have message-wait originate ability, you can turn
on the message-waiting light of any other telephone. This light lets that
telephone user know that you have a message for him or her. In addition
to the message waiting light, leaving a message indication at a station
also causes the dial tone at that station to sound in a broken manner when
the station user takes his or her telephone off-hook.
The message-waiting light is located in different places on the various
model telephones. On the 8124S and 8112S telephones, the message
waiting light is located above the HOLD button. On the 8112N
telephone, the message waiting light is located above the dial pad. The
8212S and 8212N telephones have a dedicated message waiting key and
light, labeled MESSAGE. For more information on button locations, see
Chapter 1.
If your telephone receives a message and has a DSS button that is
programmed to call the station that left the message, the light next to that
station’s DSS button on your telephone will flash.
