Voice Mail Lets You Say You Are Away

Whether you are in a meeting for the morning or away for a week, you can use voice mail to tell callers when you will be back or whom to call in your absence. Best of all, this is a standard voice mail feature, so there is nothing extra to install.

Extended Absence Greeting

• Allows you to set up a temporary greeting without having to record over your standard greeting (which stays stored in memory and can be reactivated easily)

• Notifies you each time you access your voice mail that you have your extended absence greeting enabled, so you remember to turn it off when you return

• Prohibits callers from skipping to the end of this greeting by pressing [#] (as they can when listening to your standard greeting), so you know they will hear what you have to say

Easy to Use

1. From the voice mail main menu, press
   [4] (personal options),
   [3] (greetings), and then
   [2] (extended absence).

2. Record your greeting.

3. Press [#] when finished.

4. If you are satisfied with the greeting, press [#]. Listen for other options.

5. Press [*] to return to the main menu.

6. Press [*] to disconnect.

To cancel your extended absence greeting:

1. Access your mailbox.

2. Follow the system prompts to retain, delete, or listen to your temporary greeting. (You are returned to the main menu.)

3. Press [*] to exit.
