About the auto attendant and message recording
If you want one or more of your 1080 telephones to automatically answer 
incoming calls for your system, to announce the directory, and to enable your 
callers to record central system messages, you need to customize AUTO ATT 
SETUP. See page 46-51 of your installation guide.
If a 1080 extension is an active auto attendant and it is answering or directing 
a call, or playing or recording an announcement or message, the LINE light 
flashes sequentially (two short flashes with a long one continually). To 
interrupt the auto attendant, press the flashing LINE button on this 1080 
telephone to talk to the caller on that line, or press any other LINE button to 
disconnect this call and make a new call on another line. See the installation 
guide, page 48.
If you want one or more of your 1080 telephones to record messages directed to 
individual 1070 and 1040 telephones, you need to customize 
AUTO ATT SETUP 
and SYS EXT MAILBOX. See pages 46 and 52 of your installation guide. 
To turn on the system answering features for private messages, to control the 
answering system functions, and to control the timing, security, and what can 
happen while messages are being recorded, you need to customize SYS EXT 
MAILBOX and DTAD SETUP. See pages 52 and 57 of your installation guide.
Incoming messages 
If this 1080 telephone is not set up as an auto attendant, it stores only private 
messages.
If this 1080 phone is an auto attendant, it can also store three kinds of messages 
on three separate lists, private messages, central messages or system extension 
messages.
You must playback or delete each list separately. Play private or central 
messages by pressing [DTAD] and scrolling to PRIVATE MSGS, or CENTRAL 
MSGS, pressing [ENTER], and then scrolling to PLAY NEW MSGS or PLAY ALL 
MSGS, and pressing [ENTER].
