FINDING YOUR WAY
SETTING UP VOICE MAIL
To begin using your mailbox you will need to complete a few basic set-up procedures
to initialize your mailbox, customize your personal greetings, and record your voice
mail directory name.
NOTE: If your telephone system uses Enterprise Messaging (EM), your mailbox may
have the Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) feature enabled. When ASR is enabled
for your mailbox, you have the option of issuing a spoken command or pressing a dial-
pad button. See page 18 for ASR guidelines.
ALSO: If your mailbox has E-Mail Reader enabled, you have an advanced mailbox.
See page 119 for information and instructions about using E-Mail Reader features.

mail administrator.

Say “Login” or press to identify yourself as a subscriber.
3. Say or enter your mailbox number using the dialpad digits.

NOTE: Your mailbox number is your default password.
If you want a password, say or enter a new password using digits 0-9 (up to 12
digits). Then press . The messaging system plays back your password.
If you do not want to use a password, just say “Skip” or press .
5. Say “Accept” or press to accept the entry or say “Erase” or press to
re-enter your password. The system prompts you to record your directory name.
