Sending a Voice Message
60 ··· Vocera User Guide
You can use the Save voice command or the SAVE MSG menu command to
prevent Vocera from automatically erasing a message. The saved message then
stays on the Vocera server until you explicitly tell the Genie to erase it. See the
following topics for more information:
• Commands You Can Use During Message Play on page 64
• Reading Messages on page 65
The Vocera server can store up to 20 text messages at a time, and you can save
up to 10 of these messages. Messages that you do not specifically save are
deleted as needed to make way for new messages, even if you did not read the
older messages.
Each time you log in, your messages are downloaded from the server to the
memory of your device, so you can read your text messages even when you
are out of range of the wireless network. When you log off, text messages are
erased from memory, but they remain on the server.
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 another user an urgent message, it is played back before standard
messages, regardless of the order in which messages are received.
Note: Do not confuse an urgent voice message with urgent calls, broadcasts,
three-way conference calls, and invitations. An urgent message is played
back before other messages, but it does not interrupt a recipient. See Issuing
Urgent Commands on page 83.
