VOICE MAIL

FEATURES

Using Main Menu E-Mail Reader Count

After you set up your E-Mail Reader account, the system announces the number of

voice mail, e-mail, and fax messages you have each time you access your mailbox

before you can listen to your messages. The voice prompt that indicates the number of

e-mail and fax messages is the “Main Menu E-Mail Reader Count” option. Voice

mail message prompts are not included in Main Menu E-Mail Reader Count and are

always played when you access your mailbox.

You can disable the Main Menu E-Mail Reader Count option in your mailbox. Dis-

abling the Main Menu E-Mail Reader Count option defers e-mail and fax prompts

until you select the E-Mail or Fax message option from the main menu. Disabling

Main Menu E-Mail Reader Count does not disable E-Mail Reader. It only defers the

voice prompts until the appropriate option is selected.

To disable or enable the Main Menu E-Mail Reader Count option:

1. Access your mailbox as described on page 76.

2. Tap or say “Personal” to select the Personal Options menu.

3. Tap or say “More” to select More Options.

4. Tap or say “E-Mail Reader Count” to select the E-Mail Reader Count toggle

option.

5. If E-Mail Reader Count is enabled, tap or say “Disable” to disable.

If E-Mail Reader Count is disabled, tap

or say “Enable” to enable.

Accessing Fax Messages

When you access a fax message, E-Mail Reader announces the fax message according

to the message envelope options (see page 78). Because a fax message is received by

your e-mail account as an image attachment, E-Mail Reader cannot read the text in

the fax. To view the fax and read it, you must access it from your e-mail account.

However, you can save, delete, and forward a fax to a number you specify.

To access fax messages or program a fax number: Access your mailbox (see

page 76), and then follow the voice commands or see the Voice Mail flowchart on

page 86 for the step sequence.
