62 For assistance, please visit http://www.panasonic.com/help
Using Voice Mail service
Voice Mail is an automatic answering
service offered by your telephone service
provider. After you subscribe to this
service, the telephone service provider’s
Voice Mail system will answer calls for you
when you are unavailable to answer the
phone or when your line is busy.
Messages are recorded by the telephone
service provider, not your telephone.
Important:
L To use the Voice Mail service provided
by your telephone service provider
rather than the unit’s answering system,
turn off the answering system (page 54).
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
handset.
– The message indicator on the handset
slowly flashes blue if the message alert
feature is turned on (page 61).
In order to listen to your Voice Mail
messages, you must dial your telephone
service provider’s Voice Mail access
number.
Note:
L If the 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 the handset beeps.
L If your Voice Mail service uses Voice
Mail tones and the message is over 3
minutes long, the handset may not
indicate new messages.
Voice Mail (VM) tone detection
Your telephone service provider 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} or {SP-PHONE}, you
have new Voice Mail messages. Minutes
after you hang up a call or after the phone
stops ringing, your unit will check 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 telephone service provider does
not send Voice Mail tones.
– your phone is connected to a PBX.
If you are not sure which setting is
required, consult your telephone service
provider.
