Introduction  
About Your Voice Mail System  
The Mitel® 3300 Integrated Communications Platform (ICP) features an automated voice mail  
system for handling telephone calls and taking messages. The system provides you with a  
mailbox for sending and receiving messages, which you can personalize with your name, a  
greeting, and a private passcode.  
Easy to use  
Use your telephone keypad to select options in the voice mail system menus. These simple  
and straightforward menus allow you to concentrate on what to do, not on how to do it.  
Voicepromptsguideyoueverystepoftheway, tellingyouwhichmenuoptionsareavailable.  
Don't worry if you make a mistake. You can't damage the system, so experiment with all  
the available features.  
Benefits  
Encourage callers to leave voice messages in your mailbox, thereby avoiding missed calls  
or incorrect messages.  
Record temporary greetings to let callers know when you are out for the day, on vacation,  
or busy in meetings.  
Listen to or leave messages 24 hours a day, from any touch-tone telephone.  
If you are out of the office at another number or with a pager or cellular telephone, the voice  
mail system can notify you when you receive messages.  
Your Telephone  
Before using the voice mail features of your system, familiarize yourself with your telephone.  
Message key - Used to call the Message Center and access your mailbox.  
Keypad - Used to make menu selections within the voice mail system.  
Message light - Used to indicate when you have messages in your mailbox.  
For telephones that do not have a message light, your Administrator can set up the system to  
call you when someone leaves a message.  
Your telephone may provide “softkeys” that allow you to select many of the voice mail menu  
options. To select a menu option that appears in the telephone display, you can either press  
the associated softkey or press the keypad digit for the option.

Where to Get Help  
Ifyou have any problems or questions aboutprocedures, consult your Administrator (the person  
in your company who manages the communications system).  
Preparations  
Before accessing your mailbox, you must do three things:  
ˆ Get the following information from your Administrator and record it in the Quick Reference  
Sheet at the beginning of this guide:  
the company telephone number  
the Automated Attendant number  
the Message Center extension  
your mailbox number  
your secondary mailbox number  
your default passcode  
the Administrator’s name and number  
Tip: Users on Resilient 3300 ICP systems are provided with two mailboxes, each with a  
unique mailbox number. The additional mailbox ensures that you always have access to  
your voicemail. Use thesecondary number onlywhen your primary mailbox is inaccessible  
(as indicated by the flashing indicator on your telephone's display).  
ˆ Select a new passcode. When you first access your mailbox, you must change the default  
passcode to a series of digits that only you know. The new passcode must have the same  
number of character as the default passcode. See “User Options” on page 13 for more  
information on passcodes.  
ˆ Prepare a permanent greeting. When you first access your mailbox, you must record your  
permanent greeting. This greeting is what callers hear when you are unable to take their  
calls. A sample greeting is given in the start-up instructions on the next pages, but you  
may want to create your own. See “Mailbox Greetings” on page 19 for more information.

Message notification allows you to leave the office and have the system notify you when you  
receive messages. The system will call you at a telephone number or pager number. You can  
also use notification to alert you to messages if your telephone does not have a message light.  
With Message Notification, you can:  
Specify when notification should take place: when the business is open, closed, always, or  
never.  
Indicate that you want notification only for urgent messages.  
If your Administrator has given you the ability to specify your own mailbox type and number,  
you can:  
Enter a notification type: internal extension number, external number, message pager,  
tone-only pager, or digital pager.  
Enter an extension number or telephone number at which to be notified.  
If you have not been given the ability to specify your own mailbox type and number, the  
Administrator must program the notification type and number for you.  
If your notification number is a telephone number: The system calls that number at 15  
minute intervals (twice if there is no answer, three times if the number is busy). If you do not  
call in and check your mailbox by the second time (third if busy), the system will not call again,  
even if it receives new messages. However, your telephone's message waiting indicator will  
be on until the message is checked.  
If your notification number is a pager: The system calls only once for each new message  
that it receives.

Mailbox Greetings  
Using Mailbox Greetings Effectively  
There are two types of mailbox greetings: “permanent” and “temporary”. You record the  
permanent greeting when you access your mailbox the first time. Temporary greetings override  
the permanent greeting for the specified duration. If there is no temporary greeting, callers  
accessing your mailbox will hear the permanent greeting.  
Note: Your administrator may have programmed your mailbox to play a standard  
company greeting—for example, "Welcome to ABC Corporation. That extension is not  
available. Please leave a message."—for callers instead of a personal greeting. If so,  
you will still be prompted to record a personal greeting even though it won't be used.  
A permanent greeting cannot be very specific because it is worded to cover all situations. To  
address specific situations, create a temporary greeting that will last until you turn it off or for  
a specified number of days.  
Two examples of temporary greetings are  
“Hi! You have reached Julie Jones. I'm on vacation from Friday, June 18, through Friday,  
June 25. I'll be back on Monday, June 28, so please leave a message and I'll get back to  
you as soon as possible. If you require immediate assistance, press 0 and ask to be  
transferred to Christine Conner.”  
“This is Harry Smith, and today is Thursday, May 13. I have a meeting all day today so I  
will not be available to answer calls. Please leave a message and I'll get back to you  
tomorrow.”  
You can change your temporary greeting anytime you wish to let callers know about any  
schedule changes. It's a good idea to create a temporary greeting every day—it shows callers  
that you really do use voice mail. You can also leave the name of a backup person if you will  
not be available to answer calls.  
About Bilingual Greetings  
Callers to a bilingual system can change the language of the spoken prompts by pressing the  
Language toggle key. This does not change the language of your greeting. Contact your  
Administrator for more information.  
If your system is bilingual, you may want to record a bilingual greeting. You can use this example  
as a guide (in this example, the Language toggle key is 8):  
“You have reached Christine Conner. Vous avez joint la boîte vocale de Christine Conner.  
I can't answer the phone right now, so please leave your name, number, and a short  
message. Je ne peux prendre votre appel pour le moment. Veuillez composer le 8 et laisser  
votre nom et numéro, ainsi qu'un court message. If you need immediate assistance, press  
0. Pour obtenir de l'aide immédiatement, composez le 0.

Using the Voice Mail System  
Personal Contacts  
Personal Contacts allow you to store alternate numbers where callers can contact you instead  
of leaving a message. Callers are prompted in the greeting to press a key to have their call  
transferred to the alternate number—they are never told the number. You can program up to  
ten (10) Personal Contacts, assigning a Personal Contact key (0–9) to each number. You then  
add information about these personal contact keys in your mailbox greeting.  
Personal Contact keys for cellular telephone (2), fax (3) and pager (7) are pre-defined by the  
system. When you program these personal contacts, the system plays the pre-recorded  
messages for these personal contacts after your mailbox greeting.  
Tip: If a number is not programmed for a pre-defined PersonalContact, the corresponding  
message is not played (for example, if you only programmed a cellular telephone number,  
only the pre-recorded message for cellular number will play).  
Personal Contact key 0 is usually used to transfer to the operator but you’re free to use it for  
contact numbers.  
In a bilingual system, a caller that presses the Languages Toggle key cannot use any of the  
programmed Personal Contact keys. Also, programming the Personal Contact key that  
corresponds to the Language Toggle key disables the Language Toggle key. See “About  
Bilingual Greetings” on page 19 for more information about the Language Toggle key.  
The following is a greeting that includes a prompt to contact the mailbox owner by cellular  
telephone (the pre-recorded system message for cellular phone personal contact will also play  
after this greeting):  
“You have reached Tom Murphy. I can't answer the phone right now. Please leave your  
name, number, and a short message – I will get back to you as soon as possible. To try to  
reach me on my cell phone, press 2. If you would like to speak with an operator, press 0 at  
any time.”

Tool; if you do not have access to the Desktop Tool, your Administrator must program the  
address for you.

24 Hour Touch-Tone Accessibility  
The voice mail system functions 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. All you need is a touch-tone  
telephone to check messages anytime, from any location.  
Listening to Messages  
The “Pause”, “Rewind”, and “Fast Forward” options in the “Play” menu apply only while you  
are listening to a message. Use these keys to replay information you missed, to pause a  
message so you can write something, or to quickly move ahead to another message.  
While listening to messages, new messages play before saved messages. After you listen to  
all messages, you are returned to the Main Menu.  
Sending Messages  
You can use distribution lists to send messages to multiple mailboxes at once. You can send  
a message to more than one distribution list (for example, if you need to send a message to  
more mailboxes than a distribution list can accommodate).  
Message Storage Limit  
The system deletes a saved message after the message is older than the number of days set  
by the Administrator (typically 15 days). Deleted messages cannot be recovered. You can use  
Forward to E-mail to send voice messages you want to keep to your e-mail address.  
Forwarding and Transferring Messages  
The “Answer” and “Give” options in the “Play” menu only work with other mailboxes in your  
company. You cannot reply to a message or forward a message to an outside number.  
Certified Messages  
When you send a certified message, the system creates a “receipt” containing the names of  
the message addressees. This receipt becomes a saved message in your mailbox.  
Every time you listen to the receipt, you can find out who has and who has not listened to the  
message. When everyone has listened to the message, you can delete the receipt from your  
mailbox.

Type Ahead  
You don’t need to listen to all menu prompts before pressing a key selection; the prompts are  
only for your convenience. If you know which keys to use, type ahead and move through the  
system as fast as you wish.  
Message Length and Conditions  
There is no time limit on message length, but after five minutes the system interrupts the caller  
and asks if they wish to continue. If there is no reply, the system stops recording and hangs  
up. The same thing happens if the caller stops talking for more than a few seconds or has a  
very faint connection.  
If the caller is in a very noisy environment, such as a factory or a windy car, the system may  
disconnect. The caller should try again from a quieter location.  
Minimum message length is two seconds.  
Visual Voice Mail  
If you have a 5140, 5230 or 5240 IP Appliance, you can use the Visual Voice Mail application  
to access your voice mail messages. Not all voice mail features are available from Visual Voice  
Mail; see your IP Appliance User Guide for more information.
