How to program your Outcall Notification Feature or change your schedule

Outcall Notification is a message alert feature, which may be programmed by each individual mailbox owner. By using this feature, you can program the system to call you at a designated time and phone number to alert you that you have new messages waiting for you. However, if you activate this feature, you must set a notification schedule. If you do not set a notification schedule, the system may call you 24 hours a day. Therefore, DO NOT ACTIVATE THIS FEATURE WITHOUT SETTING A NOTIFICATION SCHEDULE!

Activating the outcall notification feature is a two-step process. First you must turn the notification feature "on." Then, you must program the phone number and the time of day you wish the system to call. We recommend programming this feature to call between 5pm-11pm. You may choose any window of time within this 6 hour time frame to have the system call.

If you are not at home when the system calls and have an answering machine, the system will leave a message. It will continue to call every 15 minutes for the time period you programmed. For this reason, we recommend programming no more than a 30 minute time interval for the system to call you.

After you have programmed this initial information, the system will ask you a series of questions to which you should answer "immediately."
