For landline voicemail service
subscribers
To receive voicemail and use the answering
system properly, please note the following:
R
“Voicemail” is a service provided by your
phone service provider (page 44). You
will need to first subscribe or activate this
service through your phone service
provider. Contact your phone service
provider on how to operate this service and
how you will be notified that you have
messages on your voicemail.
To use this service, you will be required to
leave your answering machine off on your
unit.
This will allow the voicemail to receive any
messages.
R
To use the unit’s answering machine rather
than the voicemail service provided by your
phone service provider, please contact your
phone service provider 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 voicemail provided
by your phone service provider.

recording time allowed for each caller. The
