For Voice Mail service subscribers
If you subscribe to a flat-rate service 
package that includes Caller ID, Call 
Waiting, Voice Mail, and unlimited local/
regional/long distance calls, please 
note the following:
L
To use the Voice Mail service 
provided by your service provider/
telephone company rather than the 
unit’s answering system, turn off the 
answering system (page 30).
L
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 “
Ring count
” 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 ring count 
required to activate the Voice Mail 
service provided by your service 
provider/telephone company before 
changing this setting.
– Change the ring count of the Voice 
Mail service so that the answering 
system can answer the call first. To 
do so, consult your service 
provider/telephone company.

You can change the maximum 
message recording time allotted to 
each caller. The default setting is
