Logging in to the Voicemail System
If you are a new user in the ShoreTel system, you need to log in to the voicemail system to record your
name and personal greeting. For details, see Logging in to Voicemail from Your Phone on page 55.
Unassigning Your Extension from the Phone
If you share a phone with others (for example, if you’re a mobile worker who shares an office) or if you
are using a phone temporarily for some other reason, you should unassign your extension when you
are finished using the phone. You can do this through the Unassign soft key, if your phone displays it,
or you can use the Options menu.
To unassign your extension if your phone displays the Unassign soft key:
1. Press the Unassign soft key.
Tip
Ask your system administrator for the minimum password length.
