Ê Posting MessagesÊ

To program:

See Programming Buttons & Settings, p. 17.

To post messages, you must program a Posted Messages button. A posted message appears on the display of any inside caller who tries to reach you as long as that person has a display phone. There may be as many as 20 messages available to you for posting. Message 1 is always DO NOT DISTURB *; 9 other messages, listed below, come with the system, but these can be changed by your system manager. The remaining 10 messages are created by your system manager, whom you should ask for details.

Code	Message	Code	Message
01	DO NOT DISTURB	06	IN CONFERENCE
02	OUT TO LUNCH	07	WITH A CLIENT
03	AT HOME	08	WITH A CUSTOMER
04	OUT SICK	09	AWAY FROM DESK
05	IN A MEETING	10	OUT ALL DAY

To post a message:

Press the programmed Posted Messages button and dial the 2-digit code for the message (01–20).

To cancel a posted message:

Press the programmed Posted Messages and dial 00.

*If you use the Do Not Disturb feature (p. 13) and have a programmed Posted Messages button, the appropriate message is posted. When you turn off the Do Not Disturb feature, the posted message is canceled, too. However, posting or canceling the message does not activate or deactivate the feature.

-Signaling & Notify-

To program:

See Programming Buttons & Settings, p. 17.

Signaling. Program a button that will cause a co-worker’s phone to beep. The other person can then call you in response to the beep. You must program a different line button for each extension you wish to contact. To beep the recipient’s phone, just press the button, and the other phone beeps for as long as you hold down the button. A programmed Signaling button also acts as an Auto Dial button (see p. 11). To dial the extension, lift the handset or press the Speaker button; then press the Signaling button.

Notify. This feature simply lights a line button on the recipient’s phone, providing a silent message light that alerts the other party to call you. To use this feature, you must program a Notify Send button (labeled, for example, Notify Mary) on your phone and the recipient must program a Notify Receive button (labeled, for example, Call Jim) on his or her phone. Communication is one-way only, and buttons must be programmed for each extension you notify.
