For Voice Mail service subscribers

If you subscribe to a flat-rate bundle service that includes Caller ID, Call Waiting, Voice Mail, and unlimited local/ regional/long distance calls, please note the following:

LTo use the Voice Mail service provided by the telephone company rather than the unit’s answering system, turn off the answering system (page 58).

This unit does not have an indicator to indicate if there are new messages in your mailbox service.

LTo use this unit’s answering system rather than the Voice Mail service provided by your telephone company, please contact your telephone company to deactivate your Voice Mail service.

If the telephone company cannot do this:

Set this unit’s “Ring count” setting so that this unit’s answering system answers calls before the telephone company’s Voice Mail service tries to answer your calls. It is necessary to check the ring count required to activate the Voice Mail service provided by your telephone company before changing this setting.

Change the ring count of the Voice Mail service so that the answering system can answer the call first. To do so, consult your telephone company.
