Panasonic Comprehensive Voice Mail Features for KX-TS880 and KX-TS880EX Telephones

Voice Mail Service

Voice mail service

Voice mail is an automatic answering service offered by your service provider/telephone company. After you subscribe to this service, your service provider/telephone company’s voice mail system answers calls for you when you are unavailable to answer the phone or when your line is busy. Messages are recorded by your service provider/telephone company, not your telephone. Please contact your service provider/telephone company for details of this service.

Listening to voice mail message(s)

The unit lets you know that you have new voice mail messages in the following way:

s“Voice mail” is displayed.

1 Lift the handset or press {SP-PHONE} and dial an access phone number.

sYou will get an access phone number from your telephone company.

2 Follow the pre-recorded instructions.

3 Press {SP-PHONE} if using the speakerphone.

s“Voice mail” will disappear from the display.

sIf “Voice mail” still display after you have listened to your voice mail messages, press {PROGRAM/ EXIT}, and then press and hold {CLEAR} and “Voice mail” will disappear.

Voice mail (VM) tone detection

Your service provider/telephone company 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 lifting the handset, you have new voice mail messages. Soon after you hang up a call or after the phone stops ringing, your unit checks the phone line to see if new voice mail messages have been recorded.

Turn this feature off when:

sYou do not subscribe to voice mail service.

sYour service provider/telephone company does not send voice mail tones.

sYour phone is connected to a PBX. If you are not sure which setting is required, contact your service provider/telephone company.
