About the answering system
Answering system and voicemail
Your telephone has both a digital answering
system and voicemail indication. Voicemail is
offered by your telephone service provider (fees
may apply). Your telephone's answering system
and voicemail indication are independent features,
and each alerts you to new messages differently.
For more information on the voicemail indicators
see page 19. To listen to your voicemail, you
typically dial an access number provided by your
telephone company, followed by a security code
or PIN. To listen to messages recorded on your
PLAY
digital answering system, press
/STOP
button on the telephone base.
If you subscribe to caller ID/call waiting service
through your telephone service provider, you
can use your telephone answering system and
voicemail together. Set your answering system
to answer calls at least two rings earlier than
your voicemail is set to answer. For example, set
your voicemail to answer calls after six rings and
set you answering system to answer after four
rings. Some voicemail providers may program the
delay before answering calls in seconds instead
of rings; in this case allow six seconds per ring
when determining the appropriate setting. By
doing this, if you are on a call, or if the answering
system is busy recording a message and you
receive another call, the second caller can leave a
voicemail message.
