Using the Message Button
In today’s busy world, it’s almost guaranteed that someone will call you while you are
on another call, away from your work station, or in DND. When this occurs, the other
party can leave a message for you. When you have received a message from another
party, your endpoint’s Message Indicator lamp flashes. When you press
Message , a
call is automatically placed to the calling endpoint or voice mail system to retrieve the
message.
When you leave a message, you can:
• Have the called party return your call. When the party you called responds to
the message indication, a call is automatically placed to your endpoint.
• Leave a message with the called party’s message center, (which can be a per-
son or voice mail). When the party you called responds to the message, a call is
automatically placed to his or her message center instead of your endpoint.
To indicate that a message is waiting, the Message button and the Message Indicator
lamp flash, and the display shows the number of waiting messages.
