Changing Default Reminder Messages
You can delete or change the default Reminder Messages. Reminder messages are set to
signal a phone at a specified time. The user can select one of 20 different messages and set
the reminder time up to 24 hours in advance.
In a network, each node has a list of Reminder Messages that can be used only on that node.
For reference, you can view default Reminder Messages or record new messages in the table
on Table 10 on page 51. Refer to the appropriate phone user guide for more information about
using Reminder Messages.
To change default Reminder Messages:
1. Dial 9932 (9132 in Europe). If a password is required (see page 19), ENTER
PASSWORD appears (otherwise, go to step 3).
2. Enter the password, and then press #. ENTER DATABASE OPTION (1 - 3) appears.
3. Press 2 or the SYSTEM menu button. ENTER SYSTEM OPTION (1 - 4) appears.
4. Press 3 or the REMINDER MSGS menu button. SELECT REMINDER MSG # (1 - 20)
appears.
5. Do one of the following:
• Enter a message number, and then press #.
• Press the SCROLL menu button, and then use the Volume buttons or the NEXT
and PREVIOUS menu buttons to scroll through the options.
6. When the display shows the message that you want to change, enter the 1- to 16-
character new message (you do not have to select the message). See “Dialpad
Character Descriptions” on page 7 for dialpad character descriptions.
7. Press # or the ACCEPT menu button. <Message> SCROLL OR EDIT appears.
8. Press # or the ACCEPT menu button again. SELECT REMINDER MESSAGE # (01 -
20) appears. To program another message, scroll to the message you want and repeat
steps 6 and 7. After programming all messages, press # while the display shows
SELECT REMINDER MESSAGE # (01 - 20). DATABASE UPDATED appears followed
by ENTER SYSTEM OPTION (1 - 4).
9. When you are finished with all programming, press the Speaker button or # repeatedly to
exit the programming session.
NOTES
When using primary and secondary languages, the system has default Reminder
messages in both languages. When changing Reminder messages, you should
keep the meanings for the messages in both lists the same. For example, if you
change the primary language DND message “02” to “Go to Airport,” program a
similar message for message “02” in the secondary language.
You must use a Mitel 8660/8662 six-line display phone to reprogram messages
that use Katakana (Japanese) characters. The Japanese language is not
supported on the 5000-series phones.
NOTE
At any time, you can press
*
to return to the previous menu, or press the Speaker
button to exit the programming session and cancel any unsaved changes.
NOTE
You must return to the ENTER SYSTEM OPTION (1 - 4) menu to save
Reminder Message changes.
