15 Regular telephone
Message Waiting
Your telephone can be automatically
answered by a Message Center
attendant if you do not answer or if your
line is busy. The Message Waiting
feature notifies you when the attendant
or Message Center has taken a message
for you.
If there is a message waiting for you at
the Message Center, you’ll be notified in
one of two ways. If you have a
Message Waiting lamp, you’ll see the
lamp flashing. If you don’t have a
Message Waiting lamp, you’ll hear an
interrupted dial tone when you lift the
handset.
To retrieve your messages:
1 Lift the handset.
2 Dial the extension of the Message
Center. You hear ringback.
3 When the Message Center
attendant answers, request your
messages.
4 Hang up.
Notes:
• If you don’t have a Message
Waiting lamp and you dial an
extension other than the Message
Center, the message waiting
indication resumes when the call is
completed.
• The message waiting indication will
be turned off by the Message
Center attendant when you call for
your messages.
