Sending Voice and Email Messages
This section describes how to send voice and email messages from your badge .
Sending a Voice Message
You can send voice messages to individual users, or you can send messages to all members of a
group simultaneously. You can also specify that the message is urgent. By default, the maximum
length of each message is one minute, although your system administrator can set it as high as
three minutes.
If you send an urgent message, it automatically breaks through to all recipients, regardless of
what they are doing at the time. See Issuing Urgent Commands on page 53.
