							Voice Mail Service
62For assistance, please visit http://www.panasonic.com/help
Using Voice Mail service
Voice Mail is an automatic answering 
service offered by your telephone service 
provider. After you subscribe to this 
service, the telephone service provider’s 
Voice Mail system will answer calls for you 
when you are unavailable to answer the 
phone or when your line is busy. 
Messages are recorded by the telephone 
service provider, not your telephone.
Important:
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).
Voice Mail message indication
The unit lets you know that you have new 
Voice Mail messages in the following 
ways:
–“New Voice Mail” is displayed on the 
handset.
– The message indicator on the handset 
slowly flashes blue if the message alert 
feature is turned on (page 61).
In order to listen to your Voice Mail 
messages, you must dial your telephone 
service provider’s Voice Mail access 
number.
Note:
LIf the handset still indicates there are 
new messages even after you have 
listened to all new messages, turn it off 
by pressing and holding {OFF} on the 
handset until the handset beeps.
LIf your Voice Mail service uses Voice 
Mail tones and the message is over 3 minutes long, the handset may not 
indicate new messages.
Voice Mail (VM) tone detection 
Your telephone service provider sends 
special signals (sometimes called “Voice 
Mail tones” or “stutter tones”) to the unit to 
let you know you have new Voice Mail 
messages. If you hear a series of dial 
tones followed by a continuous dial tone 
after you press {C} or {SP-PHONE}, you 
have new Voice Mail messages. Minutes 
after you hang up a call or after the phone 
stops ringing, your unit will check the 
phone line to see if new Voice Mail 
messages have been recorded.
Turn this feature off when:
– you do not subscribe to Voice Mail 
service.
– your telephone service provider does 
not send Voice Mail tones.
– your phone is connected to a PBX. 
If you are not sure which setting is 
required, consult your telephone service 
provider.
Turning VM tone detection on/off
The default setting is “On”.
