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.
Important:
L To use the voice mail service provided by your
service provider/telephone company rather than
the unit’s answering system, turn off the
answering system (page 31). For details, see
page 35.
Voice mail message indication
The unit lets you know that you have new voice
mail messages in the following ways:
– “New Voice Mail” is displayed on the display
if message indication service is available.
– The message indicator on the handset flashes
slowly if message alert feature is turned on
(“Message alert”; page 36).
To listen to your voice mail messages, you must
dial your service provider/telephone company’s
voice mail access number.
Note:
L If the base unit or handset still indicates there
are new messages even after you have listened
to all new messages, turn it off by pressing and
holding {OFF} on the handset until a beep
sounds.
L If your voice mail service uses voice mail tones
and a message is over 3 minutes long, the unit
may not indicate new messages.
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 lift the corded handset or press
{C}, you have new voice mail messages. Soon
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.
