Voice mail service
I
n addition to your unit’s answering system
you may also have voicemail service from
your phone service provider. Voicemail is
an answering service that may be offered by
your phone service provider. This service can
also record calls when you are unavailable to
answer the phone or when your line is busy.
Messages are recorded on the phone
company system and not on the unit’s
answering system.
R To use the voicemail service rather than the
unit’s answering system, turn off the
answering system (page 31).
If you have unit’s answering system set to on
and also the voicemail enabled, the system
with least amount of rings will record the
message first.
Example:
If the unit’s answering system is set to 4 rings
(page 36) and the voicemail answering system
provided by your phone company is set to 6
rings (call your service provider), the unit’s
answering system will record the incoming call
first.

Voice mail (VM) tone detection
Y
our 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
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 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.
