Meridian 9516CW
(430-5814)                 Directory                  Faxback Doc. # 46284

The Meridian 9516CW stores the numbers and names of up to 75 of your
business associates, clients, contacts and friends in your Directory. 
You can dial these numbers by selecting them.

Names are sorted alphabetically starting with their first character. (If
you want your Directory sorted by the last name, enter the last name
first.)  If you do not enter a name, the item is sorted by telephone
number.  The Directory items with only a telephone number are numerically
sorted at the beginning of the Directory.

You also use the Directory to assign Personalized Greetings, Mailbox
Greetings and Call Announcements (Voice Tags) to phone numbers.

A greeting is the message that callers hear when they are leaving a
message on the Meridian 9516CW.  These greetings can be personalized for a
particular person or group of people stored in your Directory.  (For more
information on greetings in general, see Greetings in Faxback Doc.
# 46283.)

A mailbox is a storage place for messages.  The Meridian 9516CW has 12
mailboxes.  When someone calls and their number matches a Directory item,
the call is automatically routed to the mailbox assigned to it in the
Directory.  (For more information about mailboxes, see Mailboxes and
Mailbox Greetings in Faxback Doc. # 46435.)

A Call Announcement (Voice Tag) can be recorded for each person that you
have entered into your Directory.  This announcement is played through the
handsfree speaker of the Meridian 9516CW when someone at that number calls
so you know who is calling without looking at the telephone display. (For
more information about Call Announce (Voice Tag), see Making a call from
the Directory below).

NOTE:  To achieve the best sound quality for recorded greetings and Call
       Announcements, it is recommended that you record by speaking into
       the handset instead of the handsfree microphone.
