Panasonic BB-GT1540 User Manual

This unit is compatible with Voice Mail 
services offered by your landline service 
provider and A. After you subscribe to 
these services, the Voice Mail system of 
your service provider will answer calls 
for you when you are unavailable to 
answer the phone or when your line is 
busy. Messages are recorded by your 
Voice Mail service provider, not your 
telephone.

To use the Voice Mail service rather 
than the unit’s answering system, turn 
off the answering system (page 57).

Voice Mail message indication
The unit lets you know that you have 
new Voice Mail messages in the 
following ways:
– The VM indicator on the base unit 

flashes.

– “VoiceMail:TEL” and/or 

“VoiceMail:joip” are displayed 
on the handset. “VoiceMail:TEL” 
indicates the messages received by 
your landline service provider. 
“VoiceMail:joip” indicates the 
messages received by A.

– The message indicator on the handset 

flashes slowly if the message alert 
feature is turned on (page 66).

k
To listen to your Voice Mail messages 
received by your landline service 

provider, you must dial the service 
provider’s Voice Mail access number.
L

If your Voice Mail service uses Voice 
Mail tones and the message is over 3 
minutes long, the handset may not 
indicate new messages.

l
To listen to your Voice Mail messages 
received by A, access the A Voice 
Mail from the A service menu using 
the handset (page 73).
Note for k and l:
L

If the handset or base unit still 
indicates there are new messages 
even after you have listened to all new 
messages, turn it off by pressing and 
holding {OFF} on the handset until a 
beep sounds.

Voice Mail (VM) tone detection 
k

Your landline service provider sends 
special signals (sometimes called “Voice 
Mail tones” or “stutter tones”) to the unit 
to let you know you have new Voice Mail 
messages. If you hear a series of dial 
tones followed by a continuous dial tone 
after you press {TEL}, you have new 
Voice Mail messages. Minutes after you 
hang up a call or after the phone stops 
ringing, your unit will check the phone 
line to see if new Voice Mail messages 
have been recorded.
Turn this feature off when:
– you do not subscribe to Voice Mail 

service.

– your landline service provider does 

not send Voice Mail tones.

– your phone is connected to a PBX.
If you are not sure which setting is 
required, consult your landline service 
provider.
