The system announces the time to the nearest minute when the
message was sent. For example, “
...recorded today at 11:57am.
Note that the system uses its own internal clock for this timestamp.
The system clock may not agree with the subscriber watch. To avoid
confusion, the System Manager should check the system clock
regularly. The system constantly displays what it believes is the
current time and date in the u pp er right corner of the Banner S creen.
Refer to Chapter 17 Section 9 Message Notification to Set the Date
and Time.
After the timestamp, if there is another mess age from this same
source, the system says “
The next message is...
”, and plays the next
message.
After reading all the messages from an iden tified subscriber or guest,
the system automatically offers to record an immediate reply:
“For no reply press 2, otherwise I'll record your message now.”
This makes it easy for the subscriber to respond to the message. If
the message is from an o utsid e ca lle r, a transa ction bo x or inte rvie w
box, the system does not record an automatic reply.
This is true even when a message is left in one of these b oxes by
another subscriber or guest who did not enter a Personal ID. Without
the Personal ID, the system does not know who the message is from.
At the End of the Message Stack
After reaching the bottom of the message stack, the subscriber
usually hears:
“There are no further messages.”
If the subscriber skipped over any messages, or if a new message
was received while the subscriber was checking messages, the
system reminds the subscriber that there are still new messages
waiting:
“You still have <number> new messages.”
The subscriber may press 1 to check these remaining messages. If
touchtones are not pressed, the subscriber continues throug h the
conversation.
