Posted Messages
Users can post a message to provide special information to co-workers with display telephones--for example, to tell callers where the person is when not answering the telephone or why the person does not want to be disturbed. When a user with a 4400-Series, MLX, TransTalk 9031/9040, Business Cordless 905, or MLS display telephone calls a co-worker who has a message posted, the posted message is shown on the caller's display (even if the call is answered). Users do not need a display telephone to post a message.

Twenty different posted messages can be programmed in the telephone system. Ten messages are factory-set and nine of them can be changed. Posted message 01, DO NOT DISTURB , cannot be changed. Ten additional messages can be programmed and are factory-set as CUSTOM MSG ##.
The factory settings for posted messages are shown in Table 1.

See Labeling for more information about creating posted messages.
Messages can be posted in the following ways:
| |
The system can automatically post and remove messages for a non-display telephone only if a Posted Messages button has been programmed for that telephone. |
When a user turns on the Do Not Disturb feature, the system automatically posts the message DO NOT DISTURB. Users with 4406D+, TransTalk 9040, ETR, MLS, MLX-10, or MLX-5 nondisplay telephones must program a Posted Message button in order to display the message for callers. This message appears on the Home screen of 4400-Series, MLX , and TransTalk 9040 display telephones with Do Not Disturb turned on. DO NOT DISTURB also appears on the screen of any 4400-Series, MLX, TransTalk 9040, and MLS display telephone that is used to call an extension that has the feature turned on. When you turn off Do Not Disturb, the system automatically removes the message.
You can post or remove a Do Not Disturb message by pressing a programmed Posted Message button. This, however, does not turn the Do Not Disturb feature on or off.
