Considerations
• Extensions without displays get a busy signal, rather than the Absence
Message.
• If an extension user selects a message code number 5-9 that has not been
set up with a message, “Absence,” followed by the code number, appears
on the caller’s display.
• Absence Message return times can be entered as shown in Table 4-2:
