About This Book
This user guide describes how to setup your mailbox, and how to use the various
mailbox owner features. Please review this guide carefully before you use your mailbox.
Your voice mailbox has the capability of storing private messages, offers a number
of options for sending or redirecting messages and provides several ways to notify
you of new messages or calls.
This guide can be used by mailbox owners from within the office or from telephones
outside the office. The basic operation is the same, but the access method will be
different. See the SVMi-8 Telephone Keypad Interface Diagram for more details.
Note that some features and prompts detailed here may not be available to all mailbox owners. See your System Administrator if you have questions about feature
availability.

ACCESS MANAGER
The Access Manager allows the subscriber to set a number of options for when,
where and how the SVMi-8 contacts you when a caller dials your extension number.
These options must be allowed by the System Administrator. They are:
1 Follow Me
This option is available only if the Administrator has assigned you this feature.
Allows the subscriber to enter an alternate location and set how long the new
destination will be active. This number may be an internal or external number.
This is useful if you are frequently traveling or changing the number where you
can be reached.
When Follow Me is activated, the transfer will be supervised. This means that if
the call is not answered at the destination it will be recalled to the owner’s mailbox.
3 Call Blocking
This option is available only if the Administrator has assigned you this feature.
When this feature is active, callers will not be transferred to your extension,
they will hear your 'blocked' greeting (if recorded) and go directly to your mailbox.
4 Call Forwarding
This option is available only if the Administrator has assigned you this feature.
This allows the Administrator to set up a default 'other destination', that the
subscriber can turn on and off. When Follow Me is activated, the transfer will
not be supervised. This means that if the call is not answered at the destination,
it will not be recalled to the owner’s mailbox.
5 Call Screening
This option is available only if the Administrator has assigned you this feature.
If this is turned on, the caller will be asked their name and the SVMi-8 will play
this name to you before the transfer, giving you an option to accept or reject the
call.

PERSONAL GREETINGS
The options available in this menu will be determined by your System Administrator,
and not all of them may be available to you. In the simplest systems, only a mailbox
greeting will be available, additional greetings may be accessible in more complex
systems.
Your Personal Greeting will be played every time someone dials your extension and
you do not answer.
You may record up to 9 Personal Greetings, and you may assign any one of them to
be active.
There are several different 'Call Coverage' conditions to which you may assign any
of your 9 greetings. This will allow different greetings to play depending on the type
of call, or the condition of your telephone.
The Call Coverage conditions that you can assign specific greetings to are selected
by the following digits:
1 Primary No Answer Greeting
Used when in your office, away from your desk or during the time period you
are scheduled available.
This option is available only if the Administrator has assigned you the 'Basic
Greeting' feature.
Example: “Hi this is John Smith. I'm sorry I am not available to answer your
call. If someone else can help you, please enter the extension number now. Or,
to leave me a message, press 1.”
2 Busy Greeting
Used when talking to someone on your extension or the telephone at your
Designated Location.
This option is available only if the Administrator has assigned you the 'Busy
Greeting' feature.
Example: “Hi, this is John Smith. I'm on another line right now. Please choose
from the following options.”
14
7 Edit Mailbox Greeting
Used whenever a caller reaches your mailbox.
This option is available only if the Administrator has assigned you the 'Mailbox
Greeting Option' feature.

soon as I can.”
Note: This greeting will only play if none of the 5 personal greetings has played
to the caller.

Allows you to group your reminders as Commitments, Follow-Ups or Tasks for
better organization. You may further define these as Active or Pending (pending
means scheduled for future delivery).

17
Keyset User Features
The following options are available if you have a display keyset. They require setup
by the System Administrator.
Message Waiting Lights
When a new message is left in your mailbox, the voice mail message light on your
keyset will flash. Press this flashing key and follow the prompts to retrieve messages. This key may be pressed at any time to call your voice mailbox.
Answer Machine Emulation
If you have an Answer Machine Emulation key programmed on your keyset, you can
use it to monitor calls going to your voice mail, and optionally answer them. The
operation of this feature is similar to screening a call on a home answering machine.
Your keyset must be set to forward on no answer to voice mail. After ringing your
station the caller will be connected to your voice mail and hear your personal greeting before leaving a message. During this time you will be monitoring the connection between the caller and your voice mail box. At this time you will only be monitoring the call, you can not talk to the other party until you answer. You may pick up
the call at any time or ignore it.
To activate this feature press the AME key. It will light and the feature is set. Press
again to turn off. If this key is pressed while a station is ringing (during forward no
answer), the feature will be turned on for the current call only.
While the caller is leaving a message or ringing you may:
! Press [#] to immediately put the caller in your voice mailbox and monitor it.
! Press [✱] to immediately disconnect your station. The caller continues to leave
a message normally.
! Pick up the handset and monitor privately.
! Press ANS / RLS to answer the call (using the handset or speaker).
NOTE: If you do not want to hear your personal greeting during this process you can
select AME BGM in your keyset MMC 110. This will play background music at your
keyset instead of your personal greeting.
Personal Administration Settings
This menu allows you to make changes, that are rarely changed. Use these when
you initially set up your mailbox. You probably will not need them after that.
1 Setting your Password
! From the Main Mailbox Menu press [#].
! Press [1]. The current password will be played and you will have the
chance to change it.
2 Recording your Name
Use this option to record your name. Your recorded name is played in several
different situations. It is important to record your name for proper operation of
the SVMi-8 system.
! From the Main Mailbox Menu press [#].
! Press [2]. The current name will be played and you will have the chance to
change it.
3 Entering your Directory Name
Use this option to enter your Directory Name. Your Directory Name is used by
callers to find you if they do not know your extension number.
! From the Main Mailbox Menu press [#].
! Press [3]. The current Directory Name will be played as a string of digits
that are equal to your name spelled out on your telephone keypad. Follow
the instructions to enter a new name. You will be prompted to enter your
last name and then your first name.
This must be done in order for the directory feature to work correctly.
4 Extended Prompting
Use this option to drastically reduce the number of prompts played in the subscriber interface (mailbox prompts). Change this setting only if you are very
familiar with the user operation of the SVMi-8.

Shortcuts
Calling
Calling a station that is busy or does not answer you can press [#] to immediately
send the call to the called parties mailbox.
Being Called
If your phone rings and you want to send the caller directly to your mailbox, simply
press [#].
Direct Messaging
[#] + DSS To make it easy to leave messages for others in your office without hav-
ing to dial their extension number first, keyset users may simply dial [#] plus a
mailbox (extension) number and leave a message directly. If you dial a busy extension press [#] to connect directly with the mailbox.
Self Memo
Pressing [##] will leave a message in your own mailbox.
Interactive Displays
Display keyset users have the added advantage of using the soft keys and displays
to play, save, delete, reply, call, forward, rewind, pause, fast forward, change the
volume, get message information, or help.
Viewing Mailbox Contents
If you have new messages, in addition to the Message Waiting Light you will be able
to use the keyset displays and soft keys to communicate with the SVMi-8.
AME Password
If your keyset has AME PASSWORD (MMC 110) set to YES, you must enter your
station password to listen to messages being left. This will prevent unauthorized
people from listening to messages being left for you.
If the password option is turned on, while a message is being left, press the flashing
AME light and enter your station password (not your SVMi-8 password). You will
then hear the message being left.
Call Record
If you have a call record button assigned to your phone, you may press it at any
time, to record the conversation in progress. If you have a display keyset, you will
also have the soft key options to pause and time the message.
