Users can access the  system using any of the following methods:

Listen to the messages from your main phone: Dial *97  and press the confirm button on the telephone keypad. (Another way to listen to your messages from your phone is by dialing your extension number.)

Listen to the messages from your cell phone: Dial into the main number and press 3  once you hear the auto attendant. The auto attendant will recite your messages and then deliver the prompts shown in the figure above.

Listen to the messages from an outside phone:

1. Dial into the main number.
2. From the auto attendant, enter your extension number or if you know the direct dial prefix (8  is default), dial the prefix plus your extension (i.e., if your extension is 511 , then enter 8511 ).
3. Press the star *  key; otherwise, you will be prompted to leave a message.

4. Enter your 

   voicemail

    PIN.

When users call their mailbox for the first time, they will be prompted to record their name. The recording will be used when someone calls their extension from the auto attendant. Users will also be prompted to record a greeting, which they can opt to use in place of their name. Once this has been established, anytime users call into their mailbox, the auto attendant will automatically recite their messages before delivering the prompts shown in the figure above (users can press the *  key to skip their messages and go straight to the voice prompts).

Forwarding a Message

To forward a message to another recipient while listening to the message:

1. Press 6 .
2. Enter the extension number once you hear the prompt.
3. Press 1  to confirm.

Leaving Voicemail Messages

2. Record the message again.
3. Mark the message as urgent.
4. Mark the message as private.
5. Send the message and go to the operator.
