Creating The LCD Messages

System users send and receive non-verbal messages for display on LCD speakerphones. Users send these messages so that callers will know their status when they call and get no answer. Or they use a mes-

sage to respond to a secure off-hook voice announcement, LCD messages are either those that the DXP system provides or those that you create. The system provides five messages; you can add an additional 25 customized messages. This makes a total of 30 messages available for use. You can store customized messages in place of the default messages if you wish, thus increasing the number of custom messages avail-

able. Distribute a list of these LCD messages to the system users for their reference.

To stem the LCD messages, proceed as follows:

write your messages on the chart on page 7 1 (each message can have up to 16 characters),

use the letter code table (on page 70) to assign a number to each letter,

write these numbers on the chart line beside the message letters. press ITCM, dial4#0*12, dial a message location number (01 - 30). dial # to clear current message, compose your messages by dialing the two-digit codes that relate

to the letters, dial # to save message, dial next location number, # to clear it, two-digit codes for the

message, and +# to save,

repeat previous step until all messages arc stored,

press SPKR to end.

Example: Create a message that will mad as “TAKE MESSAGE” and

program it into message location number 3.
