For voice mail service subscribers
To receive voice mail and use answering
system properly, please note the following:
R
To use the voice mail service (page 45)
provided by your service provider/telephone
company rather than the unit’s answering
system, turn off the answering system
(page 38).
R
To 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

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.

mail service so that the answering
system can answer the call first. To do
so, contact your service provider/
telephone company.

recording time allowed for each caller. The
