Welcome
®
Your AUDIX voice messaging system is a complete call
answering and voice mail system.
Call Answering
AUDIX answers your calls when you are unavailable or too
busy to answer your phone. Callers can then leave mes-
sages in your voice “mailbox.” Later, at a time convenient
to you, you can access your mailbox to get those messages.
AUDIX also lets you leave messages in the voice mailboxes
of other AUDIX users when they don’t answer their
phones.
Voice Mail
AUDIX also lets you record messages in advance and send
them directly to the voice mailboxes of other AUDIX users
— without actually calling their phones.
Conversely, other users can record and send voice mail mes-
sages directly to your mailbox. When convenient, you can
access your mailbox to get those messages.
Voice Prompts and Help
AUDIX voice prompts tell you what to do at every step in a
task. Once you have selected the appropriate Activity
Menu option (see page 2 ), you can rely solely on the voice
prompts to figure out what to do. You really don’t need this
book.
Press H (Help) or 4 to find out what step you’re on in a
*
*
task and what your options are. Always use H when you
*
forget what to do next.
NOTE: The
U (or
8) command to recover the message
* *
* *
you just deleted (see pp. 16 & 34) and the # command to back
out of the Reply to Sender option are not available on Intuity
AUDIX R2.0 voice messaging systems, but they are available
on Intuity AUDIX R3.2 systems.

Create Personal Greetings-Advanced
After you have recorded several personal greetings, you
may want to assign those greetings to specific types of
incoming calls. Besides the basic mode of using one greet-
ing for all calls, you can set up specific greetings for:
• 1) internal and 2) external calls
• 1) busy and 2) no answer calls
• 1) prime-time internal, 2) prime-time
external, and 3) out-of-hours calls
• 1) prime-time busy, 2) prime-time
no answer, and 3) out-of-hours calls
The first step is to define the types of calls you want to dif-
ferentiate.
NOTE: Your system may not permit the use of busy/no
answer call types. This is the case for systems connected to
the MERLIN LEGEND system.
Define Call Types (the first time)
1. Press 3 4 from the Activity Menu.
2. Press one of the following:
- 1 to differentiate internal/external calls.
- 2 to differentiate busy/no answer calls (may not be
available on your system).
3. Press one of the following:
- 3 to differentiate out-of-hours calls.
- 4 to make no distinction between
prime time and out-of-hours calls.
4. Proceed to page 22 to assign

out-of-hours call type,
the other call types
automatically apply
only to prime-time
calls.
You must make a
choice between inter-
nal/external and
busy/no answer call
types. The system is
not set up to handle
both sets of situations
simultaneously.

Call Types
Internal calls come from callers at your location. Ex-ternal
calls come from outside your location.
Busy calls are those that come in when you are already using
your phone line(s). No answer calls are those that come in
when you do not answer. NOTE: These types may not be
available with your system.
Out-of-hours calls are those that come in after standard
business hours — defined by your system administrator.
(Weekend greetings must be activated manually — basic
mode only.)
Change Call Type Definition
1. Press 3 4 from the Activity Menu.
2. Press any combination of the following:
- 1 to differentiate internal/external calls.
- 2 to differentiate busy/no answer calls (may not
be available on your system).
- 3 to differentiate out-of-hours calls.
- 4 to turn off out-of-hours differentiation.
- 5 to use a single greeting for all calls (negate call type
definition).
3. Press # to approve and proceed to page 22 to assign
greetings to call types.
Tips
To deselect a call type,
simply select another
call type in its place.

Create Personal Greetings-Advanced (Cont)
After you have recorded multiple personal greetings (pages
18 and 19) and defined the call types to which you want to
assign those greetings (pages 20 and 21), use the following
procedures to assign greetings to call types.
Assign Greetings to Call Types
1. Press 3 from the Activity Menu.
2. Listen to the summary of active greetings.
3. Press 3 to activate a greeting.
4. Enter 0-9 to indicate which greeting you want to assign
to a call type.
5. Press any combination of the following:
- 1 to use the greeting for each call type.
- 2 to use the greeting for Internal (or Busy) calls.
- 3 to use the greeting for External (or No Answer) calls.
- 4 to use the greeting for Out-of-hours calls.
6. Press # to approve.
7. Press R or 7 to return to the Activity Menu.
* *
Tips
To set up different greet-
ings strictly for prime-time
and out-of hours calls, you
must assign the same
greeting to the two prime-
time calls types (internal
and external or busy and
no answer).
Your specific options at
step 5 depend on the call
types you chose to differ-
entiate on pages 20 and
21. Listen to the voice
prompts for guidance.

Personal Directory
The system allows you to create a personal directory of
abbreviated names (aliases) for frequently used addresses.
It’s essentially a sophisticated speed dialing feature.
Create/Append Directory
1. Press 5 2 1 from the Activity Menu.
2. Enter an address and press #.
3. Listen to your entry’s address.
If the name is incorrect, press
D or 3 to delete and repeat
steps 2 and 3.
*
*
4. Enter your abbreviated
version of the address
(up to 10 characters)
and press #.
Tips
Your personal directory
comes into play automati-
cally; the system refers to
your personal directory
anytime you enter a name
address.
5. Repeat steps 2, 3, and
4 to add more names to
your personal directory.
The system doesn’t care
what numbers or letters
you use for each alias.
6. When finished, press #
to approve.
NOTE: You must be addressing by name (*A or * 2) to
use your personal directory. You can create your per-
sonal directory in name or number addressing mode.
Application
When name–addressing a voice mail message to Dr. Emilio
Ramirez, you might enter E R # instead of the longer name.
You can also use an alias when transferring out of the sys-
tem ( T or 8).

Use Directory Assistance
Directory assistance is just like a telephone book. If you
know the name of a person, you can use AUDIX directory
assistance to find that person’s extension. Also, if you have
an extension, you can use directory assistance to find the
name of the person with that extension.
1. Press
N or
6 from anywhere in the system.
* *
* *
2. Do one of the following:
- If you want to hear the extension number associated
with a name, enter the name (last name first, with no
spaces between the first and last name), then press #.
- If you want to hear the name associated with an address,
press A or 2, enter the address, then press #. (See
*
*
the alphabetic keypad reference on p. 34)
Tips
The extension number you hear
associated with a name is not
always the entire address. You
must add the appropriate pre-
fix numbers for remote systems.

Leave a Call Answer Message
When leaving a call answer message, you have several
options for making full and efficient use of the system.
When it answers the phone, you can:
• Press 1 to skip the greeting (if you're sure you won't
be missing new information the called party might
have left for you in the greeting).
• Leave a detailed message (it is generally more effi-
cient to convey information than to simply request a
return call).
• Press D or 3 to delete and start over.
*
*
• Press 1 2 3 to stop recording and review your mes-
sage.
Before, or after leaving a message, you can:
• Escape to a covering extension by pressing 0.
(It is possible that no covering extension has been
assigned, and this won't work. Check with your sys-
tem administrator.)
• Transfer to another extension (may not be active on your
system):
a. Press T or 8.
*
*
a. Enter the extension.
a. Press #.
• If the receiver's mailbox is on the same system as your
own, you can log into yours by pressing R or
(may not be available on your system).
