1.2 Recording Personal Greetings
After reaching your mailbox, callers will hear your personal greeting message(s). You can
record 3 kinds of personal greetings: No Answer Greeting, Busy Greeting, and After Hours
Greeting.
The VPS plays the appropriate message for each call.
Personal greeting messages are always followed by a tone and a chance to leave a message.

• Recording a Caller ID Greeting is available only when your COS parameter is enabled. To
record a Caller ID Greeting, see 4.10 Recording Personal Greetings for Caller ID.
• Be sure to exit from the menu AFTER the greeting is accepted. Otherwise the greeting will
not be stored.
• By system default, the maximum length of a personal greeting is 16 s. If you need more
time, ask your System Administrator or System Manager to increase the upper bound.
• If you change the greeting, follow the steps in "TO RECORD FOR THE FIRST TIME" to
rerecord.
• It is recommended that you mention your name in each personal greeting, because the
regular announcement of name (see 1.4 Recording Your Name) will be suppressed.

1.3 Setting, Changing and Clearing Your
Password
The VPS provides the option of assigning a password to your mailbox to protect the messages
stored there from unauthorized access. A password should be no longer than 10 digits (using
the keys 0-9). You can change your password at any time. When setting your password, avoid
using obvious number combinations. If you forget your password, have your System
Administrator or System Manager clear it. You may then set a new one.
