54CHAPTER 5: BASIC TELEPHONE OPERATION

The list of new messages in the Display Panel depends on the status of each message. A new message can be:

Unreviewed — An unreviewed message has never been listened to or acted upon (saved or deleted).

Reviewed — A reviewed message has been listened to but has not been acted upon (saved or deleted). A message may reach this state if you listen to the message and then hang up.

The Display Panel shows the number of messages in your mailbox (and the MWI is lit) only if you have at least one unreviewed message. If you review the last new message and do not act on it, the Display Panel shows the date and extension, and MWI is off. If your mailbox then receives a new message, the Display Panel shows the following (and MWI is lit): 2 Msgs 1 New. The 2 Msgs include the just received new, unreviewed message and the other message which is new but reviewed. The 1 New indicates the just received new, unreviewed message.

The Display Panel also shows the number of missed calls. Missed calls include unreviewed messages in your mailbox and any other calls that you did not answer. For example, you can configure your default call coverage point to be no coverage. In this case, if you do not answer a call, when the call terminates the caller hears a busy tone and the call is not forwarded or sent to your mailbox. The Display Panel on your phone shows Missed 1. If you press the first button below the Display Panel, you can scroll through the list of missed calls and to show you the name of the calling party. Press the first button again to automatically dial the listed extension.

You can also use the Display Panel to view or enable the following features:

Call History — Displays logs of your recent missed, answered, and dialed calls. See Viewing the Call Logs.

User Directory — Displays a directory of the people in your organization. See Viewing the User Directory.

Speed Dial — Displays configured speed dial numbers. See Speed Dialing.

Call Features — Displays the list of telephone features (note that some features may be disabled by your administrator).
