WELCOME

telephone and voice mail systems. To help you find information more
quickly, this guide is divided into four separate sections, as indicated by the tabs.
These sections include the following:
Finding Your Way: This section provides the map for your phone and this guide.
It includes figures and general information designed to help you find what you
need.
Getting Started: If you need to make a call, this is the section for you. It not
only includes basic phone and voice mail information, but it provides instructions
on how to perform everyday tasks, such as answering calls, making calls, access-
ing voice mail, etc.
Moving On: Once you’ve got the basics down, it’s time to move on to the
advanced features. In this section, you’ll learn how to program speed-dial num-
bers, use remote messaging, define secondary extensions, and access other help-
ful features.
Learning More: This is the place where the answers are. With a Frequently
Asked Question (FAQ) section and additional information about the phone and
voice mail systems, you can perform basic troubleshooting and learn more about
the system.
In addition, this guide contains a list of default feature codes (see page 67), an index
(see page 71), and a voice mail flowchart (see page 75) for easy reference.
NOTE: Because the telephone system is very flexible and programmable, the proce-
dures for using the features might vary slightly from the descriptions in this guide. If so,
your trainer or system administrator can tell you how your system differs and how to
use the features.
