Welcome to EliteMail™ FMS/VMS digital voice mail. This guide describes the system’s features and details the steps you need to take to make EliteMail FMS/VMS a working partner in your day-to-day business. Throughout this guide, you will find numerous tips and shortcuts designed to help you get the most from EliteMail FMS/VMS.

Typical system operation is presented here. Be sure to consult with your EliteMail FMS/VMS System Manager for any special features or functions that may apply to your particular application.

A U T O M AT E D AT T E N D A N T

The Automated Attendant serves as a receptionist, answering and routing incoming calls automatically. Callers hear an opening greeting for your company that gives them instructions and options. If a caller does not know the extension number, the Automatic Directory can route the call by the person’s name. When your extension is busy or you are not available to answer the call, EliteMail FMS/VMS can connect the caller to your voice mailbox automatically.

V O I C E M A I L A C C E S S

The EliteMail FMS/VMS system can be accessed 24 hours a day from any touchtone telephone in or out of your office. Your System Manager has assigned a Personal ID number to you. You will need this number when calling the EliteMail FMS/VMS from any phone but your own.

T H E C O N V E R S AT I O N

The NEC EliteMail FMS/VMS system is based upon a conversation about your voice mailbox. Each time you enter your mailbox, you will be asked a series of questions relating to these topics:

Checking messages

Leaving messages

Reviewing/redirecting messages

Changing setup options

Answer questions with a simple reply by dialing 1 for YES or 2 for NO. In addition, by dialing Quick Key numbers, you may advance directly to a specific topic.

S E T U P O P T I O N S

Once your mailbox has been opened, you may change various options, such as your Greetings, Message Groups, Transfer and Message Delivery Options and Personal Options.

Whenever there are new messages in your mailbox, an indication will be provided at your telephone:

Multiline Display Telephone:	Display = VM and number of new messages
Multiline Telephone:	Large LED = Slow flashing red
Single Line Telephone:	MW Lamp = Steady red

You may also instruct EliteMail FMS/VMS to call you at your home or pager.

A D VA N C E D I A L I N G

At any time, you can “dial ahead” by entering a series of responses, even before hearing the entire question, to advance directly to the desired section of your voice mailbox quickly.

D I S C O N N E C T I N G F R O M V O I C E M A I L

When you have completed your voice mail session, dial * * * to immediately disconnect the EliteMail FMS/VMS system or simply hang up. As an alternative, you will be given the option to return to your mailbox, access Setup Options or exit voice mail and dial an extension, if desired, after accessing various EliteMail FMS/VMS operations.

Q U I C K T R A N S F E R F E AT U R E

The NEC EliteMail FMS/VMS systems simplify message taking by allowing you to transfer a call directly to a user’s voice mailbox where they will hear the personal greeting and be prompted to leave a message.

L I V E R E C O R D F E AT U R E

The Live Record feature is used to record a conversation in progress and then direct it to your own or another user’s mailbox.

L I V E M O N I T O R I N G
