Y our system administrator will provide this number to you. Once you log in, it is recommended
that you change your password to maintain confidentiality of your account.
Note: Although # is the default on your Wave system, configuration changes may have

Managing Your Greetings
A greeting is the message that callers hear when they reach your voicemail. Y ou can record and
store multiple greetings for use in different situations. A primary greeting can be used daily for
times when you are unable to answer a call. Y ou can also create alternative greetings that can
be activated for a variety of reasons (such as if you will be out of the office for a particular period
of time, travelling, in a meeting, or on vacation).
Example: Your primary/daily greeting might be something like: “You have reached the
voicemail of Sue Smith. I’m either on the phone or away from my desk. Please
leave your name, number, and a brief message, and I will return your call as soon
as I can. Thank you.”
Note: Check with your phone system administrator regarding any company-established
greeting formats.
If you do not record and activate a primary greeting, the system will play a default greeting
which has been predefined by your company.
If you only have one greeting recorded it will be the “active” greeting.
Hint: Once you have created greetings, it’s a good idea to review them. Once you do that, you
can make them active, change them, and/or delete them.
