Advanced Operation
 
Setting Voice Mail (VM) Tone Detection  
Your telephone company sends special signals (Voice mail tones) to activate the 
VM indicator. 
Press  
[] 
,  
[] 
 or  
[SP-PHONE] 
 to listen to the dial tone. If you hear a pulsating  
tone followed by a continuous dial tone, this is an indication that a new message 
was recorded. 
Your phone comes set to detect these tones (set to ON). After you hang up or the 
phone stops ringing, your unit will seize the phone line and check if a message has 
been recorded. If a new message was recorded at your telephone company, 
“ 
Voice Mail 
” will be displayed on the handset and the VM indicator on the base 
unit will flash.
Set this programming to OFF when:
— you do not subscribe to a voice mail service,
— your telephone company does not send a pulsating tone, followed by a 
continuous dial tone, or 
— your unit is connected to a business or office telephone system (PBX).
If you are not sure which setting is required, consult your local telephone company 
or contact the Panasonic Customer Call Center.
