Direct Voice Mail*
To program:

Direct Voice Mail allows an inside caller to call
directly or transfer a call to another user’s voice
mail. You can also use the feature
after
you have
dialed the extension; just do Step 1 below.
To call directly to another user’s voice mail or
transfer a call directly to another user’s voice
mail:
1. Press the programmed Direct Voice Mail
button,
OR
Press the Feature button and dial 56.
2. Dial the extension whose voice mail you
want to call or transfer a call to; you can
use a programmed Auto Dial button
(see p. 11).
Note: If you are transferring a call to an
extension that does not have voice mail, you
hear an error tone and the call returns to you
after a time interval.
* Release 3.0 and later systems only.
Do Not Disturb
Must be programmed on a button. To program:
See Programming Buttons & Settings, p. 17.
This feature prevents calls from ringing at your
extension, although outside calls at line
buttons cause the green lights to flash. If you
have coverage, your calls are covered. If you
have programmed a Posted Messages
button (p. 8), inside callers with display
phones see
Do Not Disturb
when they attempt
to call you. A system operator or the person
providing individual coverage for you can still
call you. Callback calls and returning transfers
ring at your phone.
To use:
Press the programmed button to turn on or off.
When the feature is on, the green light is on.
