To receive Call Minder or Message Mailbox

“Call Minder” and “Message Mailbox” are
services provided by your service provider/
telephone company (page 40). You will
need to first subscribe or activate this
service through your service provider/
telephone company. Contact your service
provider/telephone company on how to
operate this service and how you will be
notified that you have messages. To use
this service you will be required to leave
your answering machine off on your unit
(page 35). This will allow the service to
receive any messages.
R
To use the unit’s answering machine rather
than the service provided by your service
provider/telephone company, please
contact your service provider/telephone
company to have it removed or deactivated
permanently or temporarily. Alternatively
you can leave this service connected and
change the
“
Number of Rings

to a
shorter duration on your unit so your unit’s
answering machine can pick up the call
prior to the service provided by your service
provider/telephone company.
