Send Message
DESCRIPTION
A system attendant can turn on the Message light at the phones of people in
the MERLIN II system to alert them that they have a message.
CONSIDERATIONS
● The Message light at a phone without a display can only be turned on
from an attendant console.
● For display phones, the attendant and people in the system who have a
Deliver Message button can turn on the Message light.
● Note that 5-button analog phones do not have a Message button.
Therefore, people with 5-button phones must program Message buttons in
order to have a Message light.
● A person using a 7406D phone without an attached display must program
both a Message button and a Delete Message button. When the Message
light is on, he or she must press one of these buttons and then the other
until the Message light goes off. Then the person can call a system
attendant to get the message.
