3.2 Telephone FeaturesL
Local Carrier-Based Voice Mail Service
Allows you to receive an indication to notify you that a message is waiting from your
telephone company’s voice mail service. After subscription, the voice mail system can
answer calls automatically when you are busy or calls are not answered, and callers can
leave their messages in your mailbox of the voice mail system located at the telephone
company. The Message/Ringer Lamp will light red and an S-CO button will flash red
moderately after the mailbox has received messages, on a proprietary telephone (PT).
This feature is available only for PTs.
Listening to a stored message
You can listen to the messages stored in your mailbox easily.
PT
Lift the handset or press SP-PHONE/MONITOR.Press flashing CO assigned
as an S-CO button.
When the Message/Ringer Lamp lights red and an S-CO button flashes red moderately
Press MESSAGE.
MESSAGECO
• You can listen to the stored message by following the voice mail service announcement.
Conditions
• If your telephone company sends a special signal (Stutter dial tone) when you seize the
outside (CO) line, this is an indication that a new message was recorded.
Approximately 5 seconds after the user hangs up one of the contracted outside (CO)
lines, or approximately 3 minutes 46 seconds after the phone stops ringing, the PBX
automatically seizes the line and checks if a message has been recorded. If a new
message was recorded in the mailbox of the telephone company, the Message/Ringer
Lamp lights red and the corresponding S-CO button flashes red moderately.
• If your voice mail service uses a stutter dial tone and the recorded message is over 3
minutes long, in some cases the Message/Ringer Lamp may not light and the
corresponding S-CO button may not flash.
• A contract with your telephone company may be required for the Local Carrier-Based
Voice Mail Service. Consult the telephone company for details.
