Messaging

- Send/Remove Message -

Press the Send/Remove Message button on your console to turn the Message light on or off for any telephone in your system.

For co-workers with display telephones, the Send/Remove Message feature turns on Message lights and also delivers the message: ATT OPERATOR (ATT means attendant) or displays your name, if programmed, the date and time you left the message, and your extension. For example: ATT RENEE 20:26 08/02 X14.

If another operator has turned a co-worker’s Message light on with Leave Message, using Send/Remove Message turns that co-worker’s Message light off. To make sure that you don’t accidentally turn off a co- worker’s Message light that should remain on, use the Message Status button on the DSS to see if the red light next to the button for your co-worker’s extension is on before you use Send/Remove Message.

When you use the Message Status button, the light at the DSS button reflects the status of operator-sent messages only. If a co-worker’s Message light is on because a fax is waiting

or another co-worker has left a message, the DSS button light is not on and using Send/Remove Message does not turn the co-worker’s Message light off.
