Answering system
The answering system can answer and record 
calls for you when you are unavailable to answer 
the phone.
You can also set the unit to play a greeting 
message but not to record caller messages by 
selecting “Greeting only ” as the recording 
time setting (page 35).
Important:
L Only 1 person can access the answering system 
(listen to messages, record a greeting message, 
etc.) at a time.
L When callers leave messages, the unit records 
the day and time of each message. Make sure 
the date and time have been set correctly (page 
12).
Memory capacity
The total recording capacity (including your 
greeting message) is about 18 minutes. A 
maximum of 64 messages can be recorded.
Note:
LIf message memory becomes full:
–“Messages full ” is shown on the base unit 
and handset display.
– The ANSWER ON indicator on the base unit  flashes rapidly when the answering system is 
turned on.
L When the message memory becomes full:
– If you use the pre-recorded greeting 
message, the unit automatically switches to 
another pre-recorded greeting message 
asking callers to call again later.
– If you recorded your own greeting message,  the same message is still announced to 
callers even though their messages are not 
recorded.

							Voice Mail Service
37For assistance, please visit http://www.panasonic.com/help
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 re corded by your service 
provider/telephone company, not your telephone. 
Please contact your service provider/telephone 
company for details of this service.
Important:
L To use the voice mail service provided by your 
service provider/telephone company rather than 
the unit’s answering system, turn off the 
answering system (page 31). For details, see 
page 35.
Voice mail message indication
The unit lets you know that you have new voice 
mail messages in the following ways:
–“New Voice Mail ” is displayed on the display 
if message indication service is available.
– The message indicator on the handset flashes  slowly if message alert feature is turned on 
(“Message alert”; page 36).
To listen to your voice mail messages, you must 
dial your service provider/telephone company’s 
voice mail access number.
Note:
L If the base unit or handset still indicates there 
are new messages even after you have listened 
to all new messages, turn it off by pressing and 
holding  {OFF}  on the handset until a beep 
sounds.
L If your voice mail service uses voice mail tones 
and a message is over 3 minutes long, the unit 
may not indicate new messages.
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 you lift the corded handset or press 
{C}, 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:
– You do not subscribe to voice mail service.
– Your service provider/telephone company does 
not send voice mail tones.
– Your phone is connected to a PBX.
If you are not sure whic h setting is required, 
contact your service provider/telephone company.
Turning VM tone detection on/off
The default setting is  “On”.
