For voice mail service subscribers

To receive voice mail and use answering
system properly, please note the following:
RTo use the voice mail service (page 41)
provided by your service provider/telephone
company rather than the unit’s answering
system, turn off the answering system
(page 34).
RTo use this unit’s answering system rather
than the voice mail service provided by
your service provider/telephone company,
please contact your service provider/
telephone company to deactivate your
voice mail service.
If your service provider/telephone company
cannot do this:
– Set this unit’s “Number of Rings”
setting so that this unit’s answering
system answers calls before the voice
mail service of your service provider/
telephone company does. It is necessary
to check the number of rings required to
activate the voice mail service provided
by your service provider/telephone
company before changing this setting.
