Message Indicator Lamp
The Message Indicator lamp (located at the top, right-hand corner of the phone)
shows the same indications as the button. This indicator flashes whenever
there is a waiting message.
NOTE: Because the telephone system allows for customization, your phone’s mes-
sage indicator may have been reprogrammed to indicate a different feature.
ABOUT VOICE MAIL
Voice mail is an application that is part of the Inter-Tel Voice Processor. With the
voice mail application, you and other callers can send and receive recorded messages
from any station or touchtone telephone. To use this and other features, each user (you
included) is assigned a “voice mailbox,” which usually corresponds to a valid exten-
sion number. You can, however, have an “unassociated” mailbox that does not corre-
spond to an extension. Unassociated mailboxes are typically used for agents or other
personnel who don’t have a permanent office.
With your voice mailbox, you can use personal or system greetings to let callers know
if you are out of town, on a call, etc. (see page 12). If a caller reaches your voice mail-
box, they can leave a message, hang up, or access an attendant.
In addition, the voice mail administrator can program the name for “group lists” of
mailboxes. With these lists, you can send a message to a group of people by entering
one number instead of everyone’s individual mailbox number.
NOTE: You cannot cancel unheard (unretrieved) messages that are sent using group
lists (see page 34).
