Retrieving voice mail messages from the mailbox
1. Press VOICE MAIL.
2. Enter your password if required (you may change the requirement for a password in user
programming menu 5; see "Password” on page C.4).
3. The ESI phone system will start playback of messages with the oldest new message and continue
until all messages are played. The display will show the origination of the message, the countdown
duration of the message, whether new or old, and the time/date of when the message was left.

4. At the end of each message, the ESI phone system prompts you for instructions (see the chart,
“Keys’ functions during voice mail message retrieval,” below). Once you’ve learned these prompts,
you can proceed more rapidly by pressing one of the appropriate keys any time during a message
or during a prompt.
Note: If, while picking up messages, you receive a call-waiting tone, hang up. When your phone rings, lift
the handset and you will be connected to the waiting call. Alternatively, you may simply press the
hook switch when you hear the call-waiting tone; this automatically connects you to the waiting call
without your having to first hang up, then pick back up, the handset.
5. To exit playback of messages, simply hang up your phone.
Note: If you hang up during playback of a message, the system saves that message and all others are
not deleted.
