It will ask you your login information.

Dial your extension and password together as one number and press #

You can now operate the voice mail.

On the set displaying the message enter feature #871.

To access your voice mail remotely, call into the voicemail and wiat for either the main greeting or your mailbox greeting to answer the line, press ** followed by your mailbox number password and then the # key (ex. **2251234#).

Good Luck!

It sounds like both phones are set to ring on incoming calls and both phones are set to call forward to voice mail box with the same amount of rings . you should turn off the ringing for both phones that way it will not jump between the to mail boxes . now when a call is trans it will go to the box .

"1" for primary greeting
"'1" to record your greeting
at the tone record your greeting
"#" to end recording
after you record press 1 to listen 2 to retry or # to accept
press "rls" key when finished
hope that helped.
