Voice Mail Service
Using Voice Mail service
Voice Mail is an automatic answering service offered by your telephone company. If you subscribe to this service, your telephone company’s Voice Mail system can answer calls for you when you are unavailable to answer the phone or when your line is busy. Messages are recorded by the telephone company, not your telephone.

Voice Mail (VM) Tone Detection
Your 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 {C} or {s}, 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. The default setting is ON. Turn this feature off when:
–You do not subscribe to Voice Mail service.
–Your telephone company 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 company.
