Instruction manual

Features
An analog multiline telephone user can read messages by pressing the
Message button. The first message received is shown on the display. If the
message is longer than one line, the user presses a programmed Scroll button
or presses the Feature button and dials 29. To see the next message, the user
presses a programmed Next Message button or presses the Feature button
and dials 28. To return the call, the user presses a programmed Return Call
button or presses the Feature button and dials 27. To delete the message, the
user presses a programmed Delete Message button or presses the Feature
button and dials 26. The Message LED goes off when all messages have been
deleted.
In Release 2.0 and later when using the Return Call feature for a voice
messaging system, a call is returned to the voice messaging system, not to the
specific VMI port that sent the message-waiting code.
Multiline telephone users without a display cannot use programmed message
buttons or feature codes to respond to messages. Normally, the Message LED
is turned off by the system operator. However, an analog multiline telephone
user (excluding BIS-34 telephones) can turn off the Message LED by pressing
the associated button. An analog multiline telephone user with a BIS-34
telephone and MLX telephone users without a display can turn off the LED by
pressing the Feature button and dialing 54.
The user should check with all message sources (system operator, fax, voice
messaging) before turning off the LED.
Fax Message Waiting Receivers
The Fax Message Waiting feature notifies designated telephones of the arrival of
fax transmissions. Up to four telephones can be programmed to receive
message-waiting indications when a fax transmission is received on a specific
fax machine. The Message LED is turned on when the Fax Message Threshold
is exceeded. The Fax Message Threshold is the length of time (0-30 seconds)
before the system assumes a fax has arrived.
Return Call is not operable for messages received from a fax machine and
cannot be used to make a call to the fax.
NOTE:
Fax machines can only send message-waiting indication. They cannot
receive message-waiting indication from other fax machines.
Calling Group Message Waiting Receivers
A telephone can be programmed as the message-waiting receiver for a Calling
Group. The user can receive personal messages or messages intended for the
Calling Group from any of the sources listed under Receiving Messages.
