Don't Forget Out-of-Office Greetings

Volume 3, No. 10

Will you be away from your office during the summer? Going away on a vacation for a week? As a kind reminder and courtesy to those trying to reach you, put your telephone on "Do Not Disturb" (DND) before leaving the office. In addition, please set up out-of-office phone and e-mail greetings for incoming messages.

To set up an out-of-office telephone greeting, simply complete the following steps:

On-campus from your extension:

1. Dial 3600
2. Enter security code on voice prompt
3. Press "3" to enter the Phone Manager
4. Press "1" to enter the Personal Options
5. Press "3" to record a Personal Greeting
6. Press "3" once more to record an Out-of-Office Greeting
Follow the voice prompts to finalize the process
