Time-Saving Tips
When you become skilled at using AUDIX Voice Power,
you will not need to listen to each complete voice

own extension, you do not need to enter your
extension number when you log in. Press#
immediately when prompted for your extension.
• You usually do not need to wait for a voice

arrives, AUDIX Voice Power notifies you by turning on
your telephone’s message-waiting lamp (if it is equipped

outside your company.
Each message consists of a header and a body. The
header tells you when the message arrived and identifies
the caller (if the caller is an AUDIX Voice Power
subscriber calling from his or her own extension). The
body is the actual message left by the caller. To listen to
your messages, follow these steps:
1. Log in to AUDIX Voice Power.
AUDIX Voice Power will tell you how many
messages you have when you log in.
2. Press 2 to get your messages.

Mailing Lists

A mailing list is a group of subscriber extensions that you
can build on the system. If you often need to
communicate information to the same group of people,
you can create a mailing list of their extensions. You can
then record a single message and address it to the entire
group simply by entering the list’s ID number. If you
create a list, tell other subscribers the list ID so that they
can use the list too. Volunteer to create the mailing list
for committees, projects, groups, organizations that you
participate in.
Creating Mailing Lists
A list may contain up to 250 members and can be created
by specifying extensions, names or other existing list IDs.
You should choose a list ID and write down the
extensions or names of all members to be included on the
list before logging in to AUDIX Voice Power.
4. Enter a list ID (up to 6 digits) followed by # .
AT&T suggests using the letters on the buttons to
spell something meaningful for the list ID.
5. Enter each extension or name to be included in the
list followed by # .
At any time, you may change between extension
mode and name mode by pressing *A
To add members via an existing mailing list, enter
*L
list owner extension (or name) #
list ID # .
6. After you have entered all extensions, names, and
lists, press *# to signal the end of the list.
At any time during creation of the list, you may use
the list editing commands discussed in the section,
Reviewing and Modifying a Mailing List.
Once a list is created, it is saved indefinitely until
you delete it.
7. Repeat Steps 4 through 6 to create additional lists.
Press *R to return to the activity menu.

Mailing Lists
If you specify a list ID while creating a mailing list, all of
the members on that list ID’s mailing list are included in
the current mailing list individually. That is, the current
mailing list does not record the list ID as a mailing list
member; the mailing list only uses the list ID as a means
to add more individual members to the current list and
then discards the list ID.
Scanning allows you to find out what mailing lists you
have created. You can only scan your own mailing lists.
During scanning, AUDIX Voice Power tells you the list
ID and number of entries in each list. To scan your
mailing lists, follow these steps:
1. Log in to AUDIX Voice Power.
2. Press 5 to administer lists or your password.
3. Press 2 to scan lists.
AUDIX Voice Power tells you the list ID of the
first list and how many entries it contains.
4. You then have the following options
• Press # to skip to the next list.
• Press *D to delete the current list.
• Press 22 to back up to the previous list.
• Press 23 to rewind and replay the current
list.
• Press *# to end the scanning process.

Mailing List Suggestions
To use mailing lists more effectively:
Mailing Lists
• Each supervisor may have a list that includes
everybody in the group. The department head may
have a list that includes everybody in the department.
By advertising the list ID, these lists can be used by a
subscriber to send voice mail to the group or
department.
• Existing lists can be used as the basis for new lists.
Use the Creating Mailing Lists procedure. After
entering the new list’s ID number, add members by
pressing *L and specifying an existing list’s ID
that you want to copy. Then make additions and/or
deletions using the review process. (Changes made to
the new list do not affect the original list and vice
versa.)
• When creating a list, duplicates are eliminated
automatically.
• You can switch between extension mode and name
mode at any time by pressing *A .
• To replace an existing list, use the Creating Mailing
Lists procedure. You will have to enter the existing
list ID twice.
• Review lists periodically to make sure they include
the appropriate members. Delete entire lists which
you no longer use.
If a subscriber’s name has been recorded, AUDIX Voice
Power will voice it back whenever that subscriber’s
extension is entered. For example, other AUDIX Voice
Power subscribers who address mail to you can hear your
name as confirmation that they have addressed their mail
correctly. (If you have not recorded your name, they will
hear only your extension number.) Your recorded name is
also used as part of the system greeting, if you do not
have a personal greeting in use.
Your system administrator may have recorded your name
for you. If your name has not been recorded or if you
would prefer to have it recorded in your own voice,
follow these steps:
7. Press *# to approve your name.
Before approving your name, you have the
following options:
• Press 23 to listen to your name.
• Press 21 to rerecord your name.
• Press *D to delete your name.

Customizing Name and Greeting
Changing Your Greetings
You can record two personal greetings and select which
greeting your callers will hear when AUDIX Voice Power
answers your telephone. If you prefer not to use a
personal greeting, AUDIX Voice Power will answer with
a standard system greeting which includes your recorded
name and ask your caller to leave a message. You may
want to keep your primary personal greeting the same
from day to day for general use and reserve your alternate
personal greeting for explaining special circumstances
such as vacation, business trips, or sick days.
Recording Your Personal Greetings
To record a personal greeting, follow these steps:
1. Log in to AUDIX Voice Power.
2. Press 3 to administer your name or greeting.
3. Press 1 to administer your greetings.
4. Press1to administer the primary personal
greeting.
Or press2to administer alternate personal
greeting.
If you experience problems with AUDIX Voice Power
report them to your system administrator immediately.
Mailbox Full
Your mailbox size is determined by your system
administrator. If you mailbox is full, AUDIX Voice
Power will inform you when you log in. Keep your
mailbox free of unneeded messages so that there is always
room for callers to leave new messages.
A special maintenance mailbox has been set up to aid you
in communicating AUDIX Voice Power troubles. To
leave a message in the maintenance mailbox, record a
voice mail message and then address it to 999
8 . Be sure to include your name, extension, the time
and date when the trouble occurred, and a description of
the trouble. If the trouble is evident in a particular
message, attach that message to the maintenance request
using the Forwarding a Message With or WithoutComment procedure.
