Voice Mail (Message Waiting)

The 2740 supports external Voice Mail indicators. This requires a service subscription. When using
external VM, the LCD will display a message to alert you that there is a message and its line. Each
2740 can receive messages on only one line. To retrieve messages from multiple mail boxes, multiple
phones must be used. See Section 4.2.1 to select the message waiting line.
The telephone company will supply either FSK or Stutter Dial tone. The 2740 is set to FSK by default.
See Section 4.2.2 to change the message waiting type.
The message display is shown below.

Mute

The Mute feature disables the telephone microphone so 2740 user cannot be heard by the distant party.
The Mute feature works with both the handset and the speakerphone. It silences only the 2740 user. The

from speakerphone to handset during a call.

feature. The MUTE indicator will turn off.

LINE indicators flashing.
