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 30).
Storing the Voice Mail (VM) access number
In order to listen to your Voice Mail messages, you must dial your telephone service provider’s Voice Mail access number. Once you have stored your Voice Mail access number, you can dial it automatically (page 37).

{Clear} until all digits are erased. Press {Save}, then press {OFF}.
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}, 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.
