For Voice Mail service subscribers
If you subscribe to a flat-rate service 
package that includes Caller ID, Call 
Waiting, Voice Mail, and unlimited local/
regional/long distance calls, please note 
the following:
LTo use the Voice Mail service provided 
by your telephone service provider 
rather than the unit’s answering system, 
turn off the answering system (page 54).
LTo use this unit’s answering system 
rather than the Voice Mail service 
provided by your telephone service 
provider, please contact your telephone 
service provider to deactivate your Voice 
Mail service.
If your telephone service provider 
cannot do this:
– Set this unit’s “Ring count” setting 
so that this unit’s answering system 
answers calls before the Voice Mail 
service of your telephone service 
provider does. It is necessary to check 
the ring count required to activate the 
Voice Mail service provided by your 
telephone service provider 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 service 
provider.Caller’s recording time
You can change the maximum message 
recording time allotted to each caller.
The default setting is “3 min”.
“Greeting only”: The unit plays the 
greeting message but does not record

Note:
LIf the message memory becomes full, 
the unit automatically switches to the 
“Greeting only” mode and no new 
messages are recorded. If you have 
recorded your own greeting message, 
that same greeting message is 
announced to callers even though their 
messages are not recorded. If you have 
not recorded your own greeting 
message, the prerecorded message 
used for “Greeting only” mode is 
announced to callers (page 55).
L“Greeting only” cannot be set by 
scrolling through the display menus 
(page 41). If you want to select 
“Greeting only”, follow the steps 
above and press {0} for desired setting 
in step 2.
