Using a Voice Mail Service
If you subscribe to a voice mail service, your phone can notify you
when you have a new message waiting on either line; you can also
program your access number so you can get your messages at the
touch of a button.
Setting Up Your Voice Mail
When you sign up for your voice mail, your service provider should
give you an access number and the message notification signal type.
If you don't have this information, contact your provider before you
start. (You have to program the voice mail access number separately
for each station.)
1. With the phone in standby, open the menu and select
Handset
Setup
or
Base Setup
.
2. Select
Edit Voice Mail
, then select
or .
3. Enter your access number exactly as you would dial it. You can
enter a total of 20 digits. If you need the phone to wait for a few
seconds between digits (to wait for the service to answer, for
example), press
REDIAL/PAUSE
to insert a 2-second pause. If two
seconds isn't long enough, you can insert as many pauses as you
need, but each pause counts as one digit. Press
OK
when you're
finished.
4. From the main menu, select
Global Setup
.
5. Select
Line 1
or
Line 2
, then select

6. If your voice mail service uses a Frequency Shift Keying or FSK
message signal to let you know you a have new message, set the
Voice Mail Tone
to
Off
; if your service uses a Stutter Dial Tone or
SDT signal, set the
Voice Mail Tone
to
On
.
If you can't find out which signal your provider uses, leave the
Voice Mail Tone on. If you don't see the voice message icon ( )
when you know there's a new message, turn the Voice Mail Tone
off.
