Voicemail service for
landline
In addition to your unit’s answering system
you may also have voicemail service from
your phone service provider.
Voicemail is
an answering service that may be offered by
your phone service provider. This service can
also record calls when you are unavailable to
answer the phone or when your line is busy.
Messages are recorded on the phone
company system and not on the unit's
answering system.
R
To use the voicemail service rather than the
unit’s answering system, turn off the
answering system (page 69).
If you have unit’s answering system set to on
and also the voicemail enabled, the system
with least amount of rings will record the
message first.
Example:
If the unit’s answering system is set to 4 rings
(page 74) and the voicemail answering system
provided by your phone company is set to 6
rings (call your service provider), the unit’s
answering system will record the incoming call
first.
Storing the voicemail (VM)

Voicemail (VM) tone detection
Handset / Base unit
Your phone service provider sends special
signals (sometimes called “voicemail tones” or
“stutter tones”) to the unit to let you know you
have new voicemail messages. If you hear a
series of dial tones followed by a continuous
dial tone after you press
M
N
on the handset
or press
MZN
on the base unit, you have new
voicemail messages. Soon after you hang up
a call or after the phone stops ringing, your
unit checks the phone line to see if new
voicemail messages have been recorded.
Turn this feature off when:
– You do not subscribe to voicemail service.
– Your phone service provider does not send
voicemail tones.
– Your phone is connected to a PBX.
If you are not sure which setting is required,
contact your phone service provider.
