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:
L
To use the Voice Mail service
provided by your telephone service
provider rather than the unit’s
answering system, turn off the
answering system (page 31).
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 38).

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}
or
{
SP-PHONE
}
, 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.
