Selectable Display Messaging

While you’re away from your phone, display telephone callers can receive personalized text messages you set up.

You can select a preprogrammed

Selectable Display Message for your extension. Your display telephone callers see the selected message when they call your extension. Selectable Display

Messaging provides you with personalized text messaging. For example, you can select the message, “GONE FOR THE DAY.” Any co-worker calling from a display telephone sees the message. Other than displaying your message, the call goes through normally.

There are 16 Selectable Display Messages (01-16), and each message can be up to 20 characters long. When your system is first installed, you have the following standard messages (although they may have been changed during installation):

Message Number . . . . . . . . .Message

01 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .CALL

02 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .BACK BY

10-16 . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Undefined

Using the instructions that follow (see step 3), you can easily scroll through all your system’s messages to see which are most helpful to you. You can append (add characters to) any message, provided the total message does not exceed 20 characters. The characters you add apply only to your own phone.
