Voice mail service
V
oice 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:
R 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 35). For details, see
page 39.
Voice Mail message indication
T
he unit lets you know that you have new voice
mail messages by showing “VoiceMail:Line1”
and/or “VoiceMail:Line2”on the display. To
listen to your voice mail messages, you must dial
your service provider/telephone company’s voice
mail access number.
Note:
R 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 MOFFN on the handset until a beep
sounds.
R If your voice mail service uses voice mail tones
and the message is over 3 minutes long, the
unit may not indicate new messages.
Voice mail (VM) tone detection
Base unit / Handset
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
M N
on the handset, 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
h
ave 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.
