For voicemail service subscribers
To receive voicemail and use the answering system properly, please note the following:
R To use your phone service provider’s voicemail service (page 45) rather than the unit’s
answering system, turn off the answering system (page 30).
R To use the base unit’s answering system rather than your phone service provider’s voicemail
service, please ask the service provider to deactivate your voicemail service.
If your phone service provider cannot do this:
– Set the answering system’s [Number of rings] setting (page 36) so that it answers calls
before your voicemail service does. It is necessary to check the number of rings required to
activate your voicemail service before changing this setting.
– Increase the number of rings required for your phone service provider’s voicemail service,
so that the base unit’s answering system can answer calls before your voicemail service
does. Contact your phone service provider as necessary.
