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. 36).
Once you have stored your voice mail access number, you can access your voice 
mailbox simply by pressing the soft key ( ), then pressing [C] or [s] on the 
handset.

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, the Ringer/Message Alert 
indicator on the handset will flash slowly if Message Alert is turned on (p. 18), and 
the VM indicator will flash on the base unit.
Turn off this programming when:

continuous tone to indicate you have new voice mail, or
