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.

access number

messages, you must dial your service
provider/telephone company’s Voice

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
{C}
, you have new Voice Mail
messages. Minutes 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.
