General Information
INTRODUCTION
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.
AUTOMATED ATTENDANT
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.
VOICE MAIL ACCESS
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.
THE CONVERSATION
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 1for YES or 2for NO. In addition,
by dialing Quick Key numbers, you may advance directly to a specific topic.

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

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.
ADVANCE DIALING
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.
DISCONNECTING FROM VOICE MAIL
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.
QUICK TRANSFER FEATURE
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.
LIVE RECORD FEATURE
The Live Record feature is used to record a conversation in progress and then direct
it to your own or another user’s mailbox.
LIVE MONITORING
Live Monitoring allows you to hear a message through the speaker of your phone as
the message is being left by an outside caller.
CALLER ID
The Caller ID feature lets you hear the phone number of an external caller when
you retrieve your messages. You can also view the name or phone number of callers
on the LCD panel of a Dterm Series E phone.

SETUP TIPS
• Keep your greetings current. Change them as often as necessary. If your
greetings are accurate, callers are more likely to leave a message.
• Personalize your greeting. Record your own greeting, include your first and
last name and, if appropriate, your department. Callers hearing your voice
feel more confident that you will receive their message.
• You can have different greetings for outside callers and internal callers.
See “Changing Your Setup Options” to record an alternate outside greeting to
use on special occasions, for example, when you will be out of the office.
• Remember, EliteMail FMS/VMS tells you the day and time each
message was left. There’s no need to ask callers to include this information
in their message.
• Encourage effective messaging. Ask callers to leave relevant information so
that your return call will be productive. When applicable, your greeting
should include an alternate extension that may be dialed by someone needing
immediate assistance.
• Record a clear and audible greeting. Initially, it may be helpful to write
down your greeting. When recording, remember to speak in a normal voice
directly into the handset.
• Your security code protects your privacy. Pick a security code that is easy
for you to remember and hard for a stranger to guess. Shorter security codes
are easier to enter, longer codes offer more protection. You can change or delete
your security code from any touchtone telephone. If you forget your security
code, ask your System Manager to delete your code and then immediately
enter a new one.
