Using Special Features
Using a Voice Mail Service
If you subscribe to a voice mail service, you can use your phone to access your voice mailbox. When there are messages waiting in your voice mailbox, the new message LED on the handset flashes, and appears in both the handset and base displays.
Note: This notification feature supports the voice mail service that uses Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) for the message notification signal only.
If you store your access number and password (provided by the voice mail service you subscribe to) in your phonebook, you can quickly dial in and retrieve your messages. (See page 25.)
Resetting the voice message waiting indicator
When you receive a new voice mail message, the new message LED on the top of the handset flashes and appears in the display. In the event your message waiting light gets out of sync with your phone company’s voice messaging system, you can manually reset it back to the “No messages waiting” state.
1)On the base, press Menu/Select.
2)Select the Global Setup menu, and then the VMWI Reset submenu.
3)Move the cursor to select Yes or No.
4)Press Menu/Select. You will hear a confirmation tone.
