The service provides a central location for receipt of these messages that is accessible via telephone. The service allows users to listen to voice messages or email messages on the web (using our advanced text-to-speech system which will read your emails to you), to leave messages for other users, and to forward messages to third parties. Section Naming and Numbering Convention Parts of this document reference other sections within the document.

So 6.2.C references Chapter 6, section 2, subsection C which corresponds to the chapter called Changing your Mailbox Settings, and within that chapter it references the section called Greetings Menu, and under that section it references the part called Options if you are Currently Using the Extended Absence Greeting. Message Center Pacific LightNet OneBusiness Message Center gives users all of the advantages of Voice Mail service plus the ability to manage messages via a web interface. The Message Center system ties your Voice Mail together with an advanced web interface and gives you the ability to manage your Voice Mail, email and inbound faxes from anywhere with an Internet connection.

A computerized or “standard” greeting answers calls with an announcement of the number that has been dialed and asks callers to leave a message. This chapter describes 1) how to access your mailbox and 2) how to personalize your mailbox with your name and greeting. Accessing your OneBusiness Voice Mailbox There are three ways to access your Voice Mailbox: 1. From your primary telephone, dial *15. 2. From another telephone, dial your phone number then press * when you hear your greeting. If an incorrect PIN is entered three times in a row, as a security precaution, your Voice Mailbox will become locked. To unlock your account please contact Pacific LightNet Customer Support. 3. From outside the office, dial any of the Remote Voice Mail Access Numbers Pacific LightNet has established for each of the islands. Follow the prompts as directed to access your Voice Mail. You will need to enter your full ten (10) digit telephone number and PIN. PLNI recommends using the remote access number for the island you are calling from to avoid toll charges. ISLAND LANAI KAUAI MAUI HAWAII MOLOKAI OAHU REMOTE ACCESS NUMBER 808-568-4222 808-240-4222 808-270-4222 808-930-4222 808-660-4222 808-791-4222 -2- P A C I F I C L I G H T N E T O N E B U S I N E S S V O I C E M A I L U S E R G U I D E After accessing your mailbox you will be asked to enter your Personal Identification Number (PIN). When you attempt to access your Voice Mail from another phone that is a member of your business group by dialing either *15 or one of the remote Voice Mail access numbers, the system will automatically recognize that phone number by its caller ID and instead of prompting for your account (telephone number) it will only ask for a PIN. To enter your account number press the * key at the prompt and the system will jump back one level and ask you for your account. This is your 10-digit telephone number You can access the Message Center via the Communications Center at http://selfcare.plni.net. When signing in to the Message Center for the first time, please use the Communications Center password that was provided in your Welcome Letter. For more information contact Pacific LightNet Customer Support or see the Communications Center User’s Guide. Personalizing your OneBusiness Voice Mailbox – First Time Sign In You are allowed to skip the personalization process the first time you access your mailbox by pressing ** when prompted. The second sign-in will require that all three personalization steps are completed before messages will be played. The first time that you access your mailbox, you will be asked to personalize it. Personalization can only be accomplished from your office telephone, the phone that is registered with the Voice Mail service. Personalization involves three steps: 1. Changing your PIN 2. Recording your personal greeting 3. Recording your recorded name The personalization process can be ended at any time by disconnecting the call. If you disconnect, you will be asked to complete the personalization process the next time that you access your mailbox. Changing your PIN The system prompts you to personalize your PIN. When first configured, the system is provisioned with a default PIN. This PIN is given to you in the Welcome Letter that is received when your service is started. Once the PIN is entered, you are asked to confirm it by re-entering it. You can press the * key to cancel your PIN setup at any point. If you do so, you are returned to the start of the PIN set up process. Once you have successfully changed your PIN, you are prompted to record your greeting. -3- P A C I F I C L I G H T N E T O N E B U S I N E S S V O I C E M A I L U S E R G U I D E Recording your Recorded Greeting Your recorded greeting plays your personal message to your callers. This message is between two and thirty seconds long. Once you have recorded this greeting, it is played back to you for approval. You can then decide to keep or change it. 1. To change your personal greeting, press 0. 2. To keep your personal greeting, press #. Once you have accepted your personal greeting, you are then prompted to record your recorded name. Recording your Recorded Name Your recorded name is played when you reply to or forward calls to other Message Center users and may be played when your personal greeting is not used. This recording is less than ten seconds in length. Once recorded, it is played back to you for approval. You can then decide to keep or change it. 1. To change your recorded name, press 0. 2. To keep your recorded name, press #. Once you have completed recording your name, you have completed your mailbox personalization. You are then directed to the Main Menu. See Chapter 3 for more information about this menu. Selecting your Greeting Callers can be greeted with several types of general and specialized greetings. Many of these are discussed in greater detail in 6.1., “Greetings Menu.” During the personalization process you will be asked to record two of the more commonly used greetings: the personal greeting and the recorded name. One of these greetings can be used at any time. For more information regarding choosing which of these greetings is used, see also 6.1.A., “Recording or Changing a Greeting.” -4- P A C I F I C L I G H T N E T O N E B U S I N E S S V O I C E M A I L U S E R G U I D E Chapter 3 The Main Menu When you access your mailbox you are directed either to your messages or to the Main Menu. The Main Menu is the starting point for Voice Mail Service functions and is the menu to which most functions default after completion. This chapter describes this menu and offers shortcuts that can be used with this and other OneBusiness Voice Mail Service menus. Main Menu When you enter the Main Menu, you hear a welcome message, then a summary of the number of messages in your mailbox (if you have messages in your mailbox). If you have messages, you can then choose to listen to them by pressing 1.

Message Shortcuts When you have accessed your mailbox, there are some keys that have the same function throughout the call to help you navigate through the system. Once you become familiar with the Message Center, you do not have to wait for a message to finish before a key is pressed to perform a function. The quick key reference below summarizes the shortcut keys, which are common throughout Pacific LightNet’s Voice Mail service. The quick menu reference displays the displays the Voice Mail menus in a graphical form Message Key Reference Key Function 7 Goes back to the previous menu section.

Messages may be received, forwarded, or returned with the ease of pushing a button. This section describes the available message management functions and how to make them work for you. Knowing if You Have Received a Message If a message has been left for you, your Voice Mail Service will flash the message waiting indicator light on your telephone (if available) or will play an interrupted dial tone (stutter tone) when you pick up the handset. When you access your mailbox, you will first hear an announcement stating how many Voice Mail messages have been left. A second, later announcement is played if you have fax or email messages. This Message Waiting Indicator Service may be enabled or disabled under the Mailbox Options Menu. Note: Under some circumstances, the Voice Mail Service may not be able to reset or clear your message waiting indicator, so it is worth checking for messages occasionally by accessing your mailbox. Listening to Your Voice Mail Messages At the Main Menu you may listen to each of the messages in your mailbox by pressing 1 or pressing 11 depending on the types of messages you have received. When played, the messages will be delivered in the following order based upon the delivery options selected by the caller: 1. Urgent messages 2. Other new messages 3. Saved messages Message Details When each message is played it is prefaced by information detailing the date and time it was received as well as the telephone number of the person leaving the message. You may shorten this introduction, by disabling the time and date stamp, please see 6.4.A., “Time and Date Stamp.” - 12 - P A C I F I C L I G H T N E T O N E B U S I N E S S V O I C E M A I L U S E R G U I D E Message Play Options While your message plays, you can choose from the following options: • Press 2 - Skip to the end of the message. • Press 7 - Skip backwards five seconds within the message. • Press 8 - Pause the message.

Answer: You can access the system from any touch-tone phone. From your own phone you can dial *15. From a different phone you can dial in to the remote Voice Mail access number (808) 447-9135 or you can dial your own phone number and press * when you hear your recorded greeting, then follow the prompts to access your Voice Mail. When you attempt to access your Voice Mail from another phone that is a member of your business group, the system will automatically recognize that phone number by its caller ID and prompt you for the PIN number for that account. To enter your account number and access your Voice Mail, press the * key at the prompt and the system will jump back one level and ask you for your account number. Enter your account number followed by #, then enter your PIN followed by # to log in to your Voice Mail account. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------Question: Do I have to listen to all the options before I make my selection from a menu? Answer: No. You can press a key at any time when listening to a message or from within a menu. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------Question: I want to forward a message to another user and cannot do so. Why? Answer: Private messages cannot be forwarded from your mailbox to another mailbox. Please check to see if the message is marked as private. Also note that when forwarding messages you can only forward messages to other Pacific LightNet Voice Mail users and you must enter their full 10 digit mailbox number (telephone number) for the messages to be forwarded correctly. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------Question: Why do I sometimes hear older messages before newer ones? Answer: If the message has been marked “urgent” by the sender the message will be played before nonurgent messages. - 34 - P A C I F I C L I G H T N E T O N E B U S I N E S S V O I C E M A I L U S E R G U I D E -------------------------------------------------------------------------------Question: One of my callers could not leave me a message because my mailbox was full. How can I prevent this from happening? Answer: Regularly delete your old messages. This can be done from the Message Center Web Interface at https://selfcare.plni.net or can be done over the phone from your voicemail account. Please note that if you regularly check messages and delete them via the Message Center web interface, messages are not immediately deleted on the web, they are moved to the Trash Folder which should be periodically emptied. The messages in your Trash folder still count towards your storage quota. Your mailbox can hold a maximum of 100 Mb of messages (total). This can be comprised of voicemail, email and Inbound Fax to Email messages. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------Question: Some of my callers want to skip listening to my greeting, and record their messages immediately. How can they do this? Answer: Tell your callers to press any key except * or 0 when they hear your greeting. The greeting will be skipped and the user will hear system instructions and the record tone. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------Question: Why is the Message Waiting Indicator light on my phone lit even though I do not have any new messages? Answer: If you have an IP phone, your phone's Message Waiting Indicator light (and/or special "beeping" dial tone) may remain active if you have accessed and read new messages from your telephone and have not yet logged out of your session or hung up. The light will turn off within seconds of you logging out of your mailbox as long as no new messages have arrived that would activate the light. Also check to see if you have messages other than Voice Mail messages. Email or Inbound fax messages sent to your Message Center account are also available through the Voice Mail system. Log in to your account and press 1 1 to listen to your other messages. These types of messages will also trigger the Message Waiting Indicator service. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------Question: Why am I being asked to enter my phone number when I'm calling from my own phone to check my Voice Mail? Answer: the Voice Mail system relies upon caller ID information to identify which mailbox you are trying to login to. As a security feature, this may be changed to require you to provide your account (10-digit telephone number). This is known as the “Fast Login” feature. Make sure that your Voice Mail Settings are not set to require the phone number. Also, if you have caller ID blocking enabled on your telephone line, before calling your Voice Mail access number enter the code to temporarily unblock your Caller ID. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------Question: How can someone leave me a fax message? Answer: Anyone can send you a fax by calling your Inbound Fax to Email number. This number is different than your telephone number but faxes sent to that number will be delivered to your mailbox. - 35 - P A C I F I C L I G H T N E T O N E B U S I N E S S V O I C E M A I L U S E R G U I D E These messages are accessible via the Message Center at http://selfcare.plni.net. Inbound Fax to Email service is an optional feature of the Message Center and must be included as part of your order. Inbound Fax to Email messages may also be forwarded from your voice mailbox to a traditional fax machine connected to a normal telephone line if you prefer. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------Question: How can I get the system to play my messages faster, without playing all of the options each time I access my mailbox? Answer: Activate the “Autoplay” and/or “Autocontinue” options to bypass some of the recorded options and menus. You may also disable the date/time stamp features so that the detailed information will not be played prior to your messages. Question: When my Voice Mail account is locked because of the wrong PIN entered multiple times, can I still receive messages? Answer: Yes, even if your Voice Mail account is locked, you will continue to receive messages and you can still access those messages via the Message Center Web Interface at http://selfcare.plni.net. However in order to unlock your account (and thus be able to access your Voice Mail via a telephone) you must contact Customer Service and have the account unlocked. If your account is not yet locked but you have forgotten your PIN, you may also contact your Business Group Administrator to have them reset your PIN for you. - 36 - P A C I F I C L I G H T N E T O N E B U S I N E S S V O I C E M A I L U S E R G U I D E Chapter 8 Customer Support Basic Troubleshooting If you need to report a problem to Pacific LightNet Customer Support, please be ready to provide the following information: 1.
