For voice mail service subscribers

To receive voice mail and use answering system properly, please note the following:

• To use the voice mail service (page 46) provided by your service provider/telephone company rather than the unit's answering system, turn off the answering system (page 40).
• To use this unit's answering system rather than the voice mail service provided by your service provider/telephone company, please contact your service provider/telephone company to deactivate your voice mail service.

If your service provider/telephone company cannot do this:

• Set this unit's "Number of Rings" setting so that this unit's answering system answers calls before the voice mail service of your service provider/telephone company does. It is necessary to check the number of rings required to activate the voice mail service provided by your service provider/telephone company before changing this setting.
• Change the number of rings of the voice mail service so that the answering system can answer the call first. To do so, contact your service provider/telephone company.
