Messages are recorded by your phone service provider, not your telephone. Please contact your phone service provider for details of this service.

Important:

  • To use the voicemail service provided by your phone service provider rather than the unit’s answering system, turn off the answering system.

Voicemail (VM) tone detection

If you hear a series of dial tones followed by a continuous dial tone after you press on the handset or lift the corded handset, you have new voicemail messages. Soon after you hang up a call or after the phone stops ringing, your unit checks the phone line to see if new voicemail messages have been recorded.

Turn this feature off when:

  • You do not subscribe to voicemail service.
  • Your phone service provider does not send voicemail tones.

If you are not sure which setting is required, contact your phone service provider.
