Getting started

Are you a new cable or VoIP subscriber?

If your answer is yes,

the existing telephone jacks in your home may no longer work.

Your cable/VoIP service provider uses a different connection, seperate from your old

traditional telephone service, to connect the modem/router/terminal adapter installed in

your home.
To allow all existing telephone jacks to work, contact your telephone service provider

for solutions, such as rewiring services (fees may apply).

If your answer is no,

your existing telephone jacks will continue to work as normal.

Did you subscribe to voicemail service from your telephone

service provider?

Your telephone has a built-in answering system and supports voicemail feature offered

by your telephone service provider (subscription is required, and fees may apply). Refer

Answering system and voicemail

on page 64 for more details.

To use the built-in answering system:

You may see this online Complete user’s manual on how to record your outgoing

announcement, retrieve messages and other related operations. You may also

refer to the Abridged user’s manual provided in your product package for

abbreviated instructions.

To use the voicemail:

To retrieve your voicemail messages, you typically dial an access number provided

by your telephone service provider, and then enter a security code. Contact your

telephone service provider for instructions on how to configure the voicemail settings

and listen to messages.
