Message Waiting
When the called extension is busy or does not answer your call, you can leave a
notification so that the called party may call you back.
As a message receiver, the lit Message/Ringer Lamp lets you know that a call has been
received. If you receive notification, you can call back the original party by a simple
operation. This operation is available only for proprietary telephones with MESSAGE
buttons.
