Operating Your System
Using Telephone Company Voice Mail
To use your NEW CALL lamp to
indicate voice mail messages:
1
Subscribe to voice mail service from
your local Telephone Company.
2
Follow the instructions at right to set
your voice mail detector to the proper
line.
- The NEW CALL lamp will now flash
whenever you have new messages.
To access your voice mail mes-
sages:
1
Dial the number for your Telephone
Company voice mail service. You
may wish to store this number in one
of your phone’s memory locations for
easy access (see page 45).
To turn off the NEW CALL lamp:
If your NEW CALL lamp ever remains
flashing even after you have retrieved
your messages, you may turn it off manu-
ally by following the following instructions:
1
Press PROGRAM.
- The display will read “Program...”
2
Press the soft key under NEXT until
“New Call Lamp and VMWI Message”
appears in the display.
3
Press the soft key under RESET.
If you subscribe to Telephone Company voice
mail, the NEW CALL lamp will flash when you
have unretrieved messages.
Your telephone comes factory-set to detect mes-
sages on Line 1. If your voice mail service is on
one of the other lines, you may change this set-
ting to the proper line. You may also turn the
feature off if you prefer.
To do this, press PROGRAM, then NEXT repeat-
edly until you see “Phone Co VMWI” in the dis-
play, then press ENTER. The display will read
“VMWI: LINE 1.” Press CHANGE if you wish to
select LINE 2, LINE 3, LINE 4, or OFF.
Message signals are sent by the Telephone
Company in one of two ways: FSK or stutter dial
tone. Your telephone comes factory-set to FSK,
which means that only its FSK detector is active.
If your NEW CALL lamp functions properly, then
do not change this setting. However, if your NEW
CALL lamp does not flash when you have unre-
trieved messages, and yet you hear the stutter
dial tone when you pick up your handset, first
make sure you have followed the above steps to
make sure you have set the detector to the line
that your voice mail service is on.
If your NEW CALL lamp still does not function
properly, then set your detector to STUTTER.
To do this, follow the above steps to set the prop-
er line, then press NEXT. The display will read
“VMWI: FSK.” Press CHANGE if you wish to
select STUTTER. This will activate the stutter
dial tone detector.
