LTo use this unit’s answering system rather than the Voice Mail service provided by your telephone company, please contact your telephone company to deactivate your Voice Mail service. If the telephone company cannot do this: – Set this unit’s “Ring count” setting so that this unit’s answering system answers calls before the telephone company’s Voice Mail service tries to answer your calls. It is necessary to check the ring count required to activate the Voice Mail service provided by your telephone company before changing this setting. – Change the ring count of the Voice Mail service so that the answering system can answer the call first. To do so, consult your telephone company.
