For voice mail service subscribers
To receive voice mail and use answering
system properly, please note the
following:
L
To use the voice mail service (page
39) provided by your service provider/
telephone company rather than the
unit’s answering system, turn off the
answering system (page 32).
L
To use this unit’s answering system
rather than the voice mail service
provided by your service provider/
telephone company, please contact
your service provider/telephone
company to deactivate your voice mail
service.
If your service provider/telephone
company cannot do this:
– Set this unit’s
“
Number of
Rings
”
setting so that this unit’s
answering system answers calls
before the voice mail service of your
service provider/telephone
company does. It is necessary to
check the number of rings required
to activate the voice mail service
provided by your service provider/
telephone company before
changing this setting.
– Change the number of rings of the
voice mail service so that the
answering system can answer the
call first. To do so, contact your
service provider/telephone
company.

recording time allotted to each caller.
You can also select
“
Greeting Only
”
which sets the unit to greet callers but
not record messages. The default
setting is
“
3 Minutes
