transmitters, such as external antennas
of mobile phone cell stations. (Avoid
putting the base unit on a bay window or
near a window.)
R Exercise care when handling the batteries.
Do not allow conductive materials such as
rings, bracelets, or keys to touch the
batteries, otherwise a short circuit may
cause the batteries and/or the conductive
material to overheat and cause burns.
R Charge the batteries provided with or
identified for use with this product only, in
accordance with the instructions and
limitations specified in this manual.
R Only use a compatible base unit (or

Voice Mail Service
Voice mail service
Voice mail is an automatic answering service
offered by your service provider/telephone
company. After you subscribe to this service,
your service provider/telephone company’s
voice mail system answers calls for you when
you are unavailable to answer the phone or
when your line is busy. Messages are
recorded by your service provider/telephone
company, not your telephone.
When you have new messages,
is
displayed on the handset if message
indication service is available. Please contact
your service provider/telephone company for
details of this service.
Important:
R If
still remains on the display even after
you have listened to new messages, turn it
off by pressing and holding # for 2
seconds.
R 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 32).
For details, see page 37.
