Voice mail service
Voice mail is an automatic answering
service offered by your service provider/
telephone company. After you subscribe
to this service, your service provider/
telephone company’s voice mail system
answers calls for you when you are
unavailable to answer the phone or
when your line is busy. Messages are
recorded by your service provider/
telephone company, not your telephone.
Please contact your service provider/
telephone company for details of this
service.
Important:
R To use the voice mail service
provided by your service provider/
telephone company rather than the
unit’s answering system, turn off the
answering system (page 35). For
details, see page 39.
R You need to store the voice mail
access number to activate the
message alert feature (page 40) for
voice mail service.
Storing the voice mail (VM)
access number
In order to listen to your voice mail
messages, you must dial your service
provider/telephone company’s voice
mail access number. Once you have
stored your voice mail access number,
you can dial it automatically (page 42).

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