Introduction
The MERLIN MAIL® Voice Messaging System Release 3 acts like a sophisticated answering machine that allows users to create, retrieve, and forward messages. Callers from inside and outside your company can leave messages in your mailbox, which you can listen to, forward,
save, or discard. A password you create keeps messages private.
You can also send messages, reply to messages, or add your comments to a message and forward both to other people in your company. Your
MERLIN MAIL Voice Messaging System may operate in one language (monolingual mode) or two languages (bilingual mode). The languages supported are English (North American), French (Canadian), and
Spanish (Latin American) in monolingual mode, and English/French or
English/Spanish in bilingual mode. If you have questions about system features and procedures, see your
system manager.
Helpful Hints
Program an
Auto Dial
button on your phone for one-touch dialing into
the MERLIN MAIL Voice Messaging System. Never program a
password on an
Auto Dial
button.
Follow these instructions to access voice mail from an external touch-
tone phone: call in on a line answered by Automated Attendant Service and press [*]
[7] ; or call in on a line answered by your system operator and ask to be transferred to the MERLIN MAIL Voice Messaging System; or call in on a telephone line assigned to the MERLIN MAIL Voice Mail Service.
You do not have to wait for voice mail greetings or prompts to finish if
you know the correct command sequence—just enter the digits.
You may hear messages telling you that your mailbox is more than 80
percent full or is full when you log into the system. (These messages are uninterruptible.) You should delete unneeded voice messages, in order to make more storage room for messages.
To replay a voice mail menu, press [*] [4] .
To back through the voice mail menus and prompts, press [*] [#] .
Press [*] [7] to return to the Voice Mail Activity Menu.
If you turn off the message-waiting light without listening to or deleting
messages in your mailbox, and there are new messages remaining in your mailbox, the light will turn back on at 3 a.m.

Page 5
When you are finished using Voice Mail Service, you can either hang
up or press [*]
[*] [9] to end the call. If you press [*] [*] [9] , the MERLIN MAIL Voice Messaging System will say “Goodbye,” and then disconnect. You may find this useful when placing a credit card call from a pay telephone to the MERLIN MAIL Voice Messaging System.
To prevent calls from ringing at your telephone and allow coverage
directly to voice mail, press the Do Not Disturb button.
If you often send messages to the same group of people, ask your system manager to create a Group List that you and other subscribers can use.
If you have a MERLIN LEGEND®Communications System Release 3.0
or later, program a Direct Voice Mail button on your telephone to call or transfer callers directly to a co-worker’s voice mailbox.
Voice Mail Tips
Most people use the voice messaging system to answer their telephone when they are not available. The most important consideration is to help people feel comfortable leaving a message. The following suggestions will help you make effective use of your voice messaging system.
Update your personal greeting regularly. Callers feel most
comfortable leaving a message when greetings convey a subscriber’s status.
In your greeting let callers know when you will return their call.
Include information in your greeting about how callers can reach a
co-worker who can help them if you are not available.
Tell your callers how they can easily reach someone “live” if their call
is an emergency.
If you reach a voice mailbox when calling someone follow these suggestions:
If you leave a message, explain why you are calling, and when you
need a response.
Keep your message brief and to the point.
If you are requesting information, leave your name, full address,
telephone number or fax number.
If your call is urgent, or you need assistance immediately, try
pressing [0]
.
Let the person you called know when it is convenient to call you back.

12
Page 15
Using The Directory
You can use the directory to send or forward a message to other voice mail subscribers or to transfer to a voice mail subscriber’s extension.
Ask your system manager if subscribers are listed in the directory by first or last name.
To use the directory when addressing a message or after pressing [*] [T] (or [*] [8]) to transfer to another extension, follow these steps:
Step 1 Step 2
Press [*]
[A] (or [*] [2]) to access the directory.
Dial the first four letters of the name.
Example: To find the extension for John Conlin if users are listed by last name, you would dial 2665(CONL). If the users are listed by first name, dial 5646(JOHN).
NOTE:
Use [7] for the letter Q. Use [9] for the letter Z. One of the following actions occurs:
Step 3
A match is made. You exit the directory.
The letters match more than one person.
The system announces the names that match. Select
one.
No match is found. You exit the directory.
Outcalling
Your system manger may allow you to use the Outcalling feature. If you
have Outcalling privileges, you can specify up to five different numbers
that the voice messaging system will call when you receive a new
message. This is sometimes called “Cascaded Outcalling.” Each
telephone number can have up to 60 digits. When you receive an Outcalling call on a telephone, the system allows
you to log into retrieve your messages. To cancel further Outcalling attempts for the new message, press [*] [#]
instead of logging in. If you receive a new message, you will still receive
a new Outcalling call. To cancel Outcalling for all new messages, turn
Outcalling off.
13
Page 16
If Outcalling is on, the voice messaging system calls the designated phone numbers in the order that they are stored in the Outcalling list. This is called cascading. When a call is completed to a telephone or voice pager, the system plays a message which identifies the call as coming from the MERLIN MAIL system, and continues: "You have a new message. To access your new message, enter extension and [#].
To avoid further notification about this message, press [*] [#]. Please enter extension and [#]. " The Outcalling message does not play for digital pager calls. The pager will display the callback number that you have programmed in the pager’s Outcalling number. When you receive an Outcalling call on a digital pager, you must call into the voice messaging system to retrieve your messages.
Calling continues until one of the following actions occur:
During the Outcalling message call, you press [*] [#] to cancel
Outcalling until a new message arrives.
You log in to your MERLIN MAIL Voice Messaging System mailbox.
The Outcalling interval specified in your schedule is over.
The voice messaging system has attempted to deliver the message
(by calling all numbers in your Outcalling list) the number of times specified through the Outcalling cycles programming option.
Use the following general rules to specify an Outcalling number:
Up to 60 characters may be used. End the Outcalling number with [*]
[#].
Use the digits [0] - [9] for the Outcalling number itself.
Specify 1.5 second dialing pauses, as needed, with [*]. More than
one [*]
may be used.
For Outcalling to a pager you must put a sufficient number of pauses
([*])
after the phone number to allow time for the paging service to answer before the Personal Identification Number (PIN) or callback number is dialed.
Put a [#] in your Outcalling number where needed. One example is
Outcalling to a digital paging service where a PIN needs to be followed by a [#].
You cannot have a [*] followed immediately by a [#] in your
Outcalling number. When you press [*]
[#] you are telling the system
that you have finished entering your Outcalling number.

Outcalling Numbers
To program Outcalling numbers you should follow the guidelines below: For a standard telephone number or a voice pager number:

Example: [9] [*] [1] [8] [0] [0] [5] [5] [5] [2] [0] [2] [0]
Enter [*] [#] to signal the end of the number.
For a digital pager or beeper number:
Enter digits ([0]
- [9]) and pauses ([*]) or pound signs ([#]) required
to place the call; include any access numbers needed.
Example: To specify an access number, a 1.5 second pause, the paging service number (555-1234), a 4.5 second pause, a PIN
(1234) followed by a # and a callback number (555-3456) followed by a # enter:
[9] [*] [5] [5] [5] [1] [2] [3] [4] [*] [*] [*] [1] [2] [3] [4] [#] [5] [5] [5] [3] [4] [5] [6] [#]
