Voice Mail Service
Voice mail is an automatic answering service offered by your telephone company. If 
you subscribe to this service, your telephone company’s voice mail system can 
answer calls for you when you are unavailable to answer the phone or when your 
line is busy. Callers can leave messages that are saved in virtual voice mailboxes, 
which are maintained for you at the phone company, allowing you to listen to your 
messages whenever you like. The unit will let you know that someone has left voice 
mail for you (p. 35). Once you have stored your voice mail access number, you can 
access your voice mailbox simply by pressing [MENU] on the handset, then 
selecting Select at “V.M. access”.
Storing a Voice Mail Access Number 
 
To erase a stored voice mail access number
Repeat steps 1 to 4, then press and hold f until all of the digits are erased.
Press [MENU], then press [OFF].
1Press [MENU].
2Scroll to “Initial setting” by pressing [d] 
or [
B], then press Select.
3Press Select at “Voice Mail”.
4Press Select at “Store VM access#”.
5Enter your access number, up to 32 digits.
• If a pause is required for dialing, press P*.
• Each time you press 
f, a digit is erased.
To erase all of the digits, press and hold f.
6Press [MENU] to save your setting, then press 
[OFF].
* To prevent misdialing, you may add pauses between your voice mail access 
number and your mailbox password in step 5.
Ex. 1-222-333-4444 PPPP 8888
Pressing P once creates a 3.5 second delay and counts as one digit. The delay 
time necessary between entering your access number and entering your 
mailbox password will depend on your telephone company.

Setting Voice Mail (VM) Tone Detection 
Your telephone company sends special signals (Voice mail tones) to the unit. 
Press [C] or [s] to listen to the dial tone. If you hear a series of dial tones followed 
by a continuous dial tone, this indicates that a new message was recorded. Voice 
Mail detection is preset at the factory to ON. Minutes after you hang up or after 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.
Turn off this programming when:
—you do not subscribe to a voice mail service,
—your telephone company does not send a series of tones, followed by a 
continuous tone to indicate you have new voice mail, or
—your phone is connected to a business or office telephone system (PBX).
See below to turn this setting off.
If you are not sure which setting is required, consult your local telephone company 
or contact the Panasonic Customer Call Center.
