Retrieving Messages
To retrieve a message (Message Indicator lamp is flashing):
Lift the handset and press
Message. A call is automatically placed to the endpoint or
message center that left the message. (See page 29 for information about accessing
your mailbox.)
To select the message you want to answer first:
1. With the handset in the cradle, press the VIEW MESSAGE menu button to view
the waiting message. If more than one message is waiting, scroll to the desired
message using the
PREVIOUS or NEXT menu buttons or press the high (up
arrow) or
low (down arrow) end of the Volume button.
2. Press the REPLY menu button to respond to the desired message.
To cancel a waiting message:
1. Press Message or the VIEW MESSAGE menu button to view the message to be
canceled.
2. Press or the DELETE menu button to cancel the displayed message.
Using a Headset
With an electret headset, you can talk on the endpoint handsfree, without using your
speaker and microphone.
NOTE: If your headset has a power-saver mode, make sure the system administrator
has the Headset Connect Tone flag enabled in the telephone system. If this flag is not
enabled, you may miss the first few seconds of incoming calls.
To connect a headset:
1. Insert the headset plug into the headset jack.
2. With the handset in the cradle, dial (Headset On feature code) or
dial (Headset On/Off feature code). The display shows HEAD-
SET MODE ON.
NOTE: If using a headset, press Speaker to connect and disconnect calls.
To disconnect a headset:
1. Unplug the headset cord from the headset jack.
2. With the handset in the cradle, dial (Headset Off feature code) or
dial (Headset On/Off feature code). The display shows HEAD-
SET MODE OFF.
NOTE: If you have both a headset and a handset connected to your endpoint and you
are using the headset, you can quickly transfer audio to the handset by lifting the hand-
set from the cradle. Press Speaker to transfer the call back to the headset before
replacing the handset in the cradle.
