telephones and pagers. 
nPersonal Direc tory:   Personal Directory permits each subscriber to create 
a p rivate list of c ustomized  names. These 
aliases c orresp ond  to other

p riority messag es c an only b e sent by sp ec ific  sub sc rib ers. 
nPrivate Messag e:   A DEFINITY AUDIX sub sc rib er c an d esig nate a 
messag e as 
private d uring  messag e c reation, ad d ressing, or sc hed uling .

ad d ition, p eop le who reac h the DEFINITY AUDIX system throug h the Call 
Answer feature c an p revent the rec ip ient from forward ing  their message.

p rompted  to leave a message for a sp ec ific  ind ivid ual or a g eneral 
messag e for anyone b y p ressing  sp ec ific  keys. 
nSystem Cloc k:   This feature p rovid es an ac c urate internal c loc k that 
allows the DEFINITY AUDIX system to keep  time without relying  on the 
switc h. 
nTr a f f i c  R e p o r t s:   The Traffic  Rep orts feature c ollec ts d ata on DEFINITY 
AUDIX system ac tivities d uring  sp ec ified  hours, days, and months. These 
rep orts indic ate how many sub sc rib ers are using  the DEFINITY AUDIX 
system, when they use it, and  how intensively. The system ad ministrator 
c an d efine rep ort c riteria to help  manag e system resourc es and d etermine 
when ad d itional hard ware or ad ministrative c hanges are nec essary. 
nTransfer Into Mailb ox (DS Mod e Only):   The Transfer Into Mailb ox feature 
allows an attend ant to transfer a c all into the DEFINITY AUDIX system, 
enab ling  the c aller to rec ord  a messag e for the sub sc rib er he/she was 
trying  to reac h.

AUDIX — Basic  feature allows any c aller who has reac hed the system to

head ers in the inc oming  sec tion of the mailb ox without c hang ing  the 
status from 
new to old, or from unop ened to old, by pressing    
(Hold ). This feature is availab le only in the inc oming  sec tion of the 
mailb ox. 
nVoice Mail:   Voic e Mail is like a “ verbal letter”  that c an b e sent to one or 
more of the sub sc rib ers on the DEFINITY AUDIX system. The DEFINITY 
AUDIX system, in this c ase, b ec omes an elec tronic  p ost offic e that 
d elivers sp oken messag es. 
Unlike the Call Answer feature (that offers the c aller an op p ortunity to 
leave a messag e if the c alled  p arty is unavailab le), sub sc rib ers c an use 
the Voic e Mail feature to rec ord  a messag e that is d elivered  d irec tly to the 
rec ip ient’s Voic e Mailb ox (muc h as a note or memo is d elivered  throug h 
c omp any mail). Thus, the Voic e Mail feature is a p roac tive means of 
p rovid ing  information, whereas the Call Answer feature is reac tive. 
nVoice Mailb ox:   A Voic e Mailb ox is a storag e area on d isk where voic e 
mail messag es are c reated and  stored  (the outg oing  sec tion of the 
mailbox), and where voice mail messages from other DEFINITY AUDIX 
sub sc rib ers and  c all answer messag es are rec eived  and  ac c essed  (the 
inc oming  sec tion of the mailb ox). From within the mailb ox, sub sc rib ers 
c an resp ond to messages in various ways.
