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 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.
