Voice Mail Service

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:

LTo use the Voice Mail service provided by your telephone service provider rather than the unit’s answering system, turn off the answering system (page 52).

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 59).

In order to listen to your Voice Mail messages, you must dial your telephone service provider’s Voice Mail access number.

Note:

LIf 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.

LIf 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.
