  2. Enter your mailbox PIN.
  3. For mailbox settings, press 4.
  4. For greetings, press 3.
  5. Do one of the following, and then follow the prompts:
    • To record a personal greeting, press 1
    • To record an extended absence greeting, press 2.
    • To record a name or system greeting, press 3
    • To record a group greeting, press 4.
  6. When you're finished recording, do one of the following:
