Retrieving messages
You can pick up messages from your station, when away from the office or from another user’s ESI
Feature Phone.
1. Lift the handset, and dial 501.
2. If calling from outside, when the operator or another user answers your call, have them transfer
you by pressing VOICE MAIL and hanging up.
3. You will hear the mailbox greeting. Press 8 to hear the messages.
4. If required, enter your password.
5. The ESI phone system will announce the number of new and old messages, and will start
playback of messages starting with the oldest new message and continue until all messages and
recordings have played or you press to disconnect.
Note: If, while picking up messages, you receive a call waiting tone, hang up, lift the handset and you will be
connected to the waiting call. If you hang up during the playback of a message, the message will be saved.
Voice prompted instructions will be played at the end of each message. Once you've learned these
prompts (see the chart, “Functions available during analog station voice mail message retrieval,” below)
you can proceed more rapidly by pressing one of the following keys any time during the message or
during a prompt.
