Voicemail service
Voicemail is an automatic answering service
offered by your phone service provider. After you
subscribe to this service, your phone service
provider’s voicemail system answers calls for you
when you are unavailable to answer the phone or
when your line is busy. Messages are recorded by
your phone service provider, not your telephone.
Please contact your phone service provider for
details of this service.
Important:
R
To use the voicemail service provided by your
phone service provider rather than the unit’s
answering system, turn off the answering
system (page 40). For details, see page 45.
Storing the voicemail (VM) access
number
In order to listen to your voicemail messages, you
must dial your phone service provider’s voicemail
access number. Once you have stored your
voicemail access number, you can dial it
automatically (page 47).
You can configure this setting using either the
base unit or one of the handsets.

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 lift the corded
handset, 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.
