Setting Voice Mail (VM) Tone Detection

(use either or )

Your telephone company sends special signals (Voice mail tones) to activate the
VM indicator. Lift the base unit handset, or press [DIGITAL SP-PHONE], [] or
[] to listen to the dial tone. If you hear a series of dial tones followed by a
continuous dial tone, this indicates that a new message was recorded. Voice Mail
detection is preset at the factory to ON. Minutes after you hang up or after the
phone stops ringing, your unit will seize the phone line and check if a message has
been recorded. If a new message was recorded at your telephone company, the
base unit VM indicator will flash and “Voice mailwill be displayed on the
cordless handset.
Set this programming to OFF when:
—you do not subscribe to a voice mail service,
—your telephone company does not send a series of tones, followed by a
continuous tone to indicate you have new voice mail, or
—your phone is connected to a business or office telephone system (PBX).
See below to turn this setting OFF.
