*Scenario*
You’re sitting at your desk and realize that you forgot to tell your boss, Steve, that you need to take next week off because you are vacationing to Hawaii. You know that time is of the essence and you’d hate getting the shaft simply because you didn’t submit your leave request in time, but alas, Steve is no where to be found. What to do, what to do? Aha, you’ve got it! You remember from last week’s Tech Blog that you can leave Steve an internal message which will alert him to call you back when he returns to his desk. Man o’ man, can you imagine missing a trip to Hawaii simply because you forgot to read the Tech Blog?
If you’re trying to get a hold of someone who has left his/her desk and has his/her phone on Do Not Disturb, you can leave an internal message which will cause the light in the top right corner of his/her phone to blink until the message has been returned. To do so simply call that person’s number and press the button directly under the MSG text shown on your phone’s display screen.
To return a message received press 43 on your phone and wait for the person who left the message to pick up. *Note* The blinking light will not actually stop blinking until the person who left the message picks up his or her phone (thus, if you return a message only to find that the person you’re calling isn’t there, the light will continue to blink until you can get a hold of him/her).
To cancel sent/received messages (which will force the blinking light to stop) press 42 + the extension of the party who received the message (i.e. 42 2117).
