Answering system operation
Using the answering system and voicemail together
You can also use your telephone answering system and voicemail together by setting
your built-in answering system to answer before voicemail answers as described
below. To learn how to program your voicemail settings, contact your telephone service
provider. Then, 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.
Set your answering system to answer calls at least two rings earlier than your
voicemail is set to answer. For example, if your voicemail answers after six rings,
your 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.
Message capacity
The answering system can record and store up to 59 messages. Each message
can be up to three minutes (see page 63 to change). The total storage capacity for
the announcement, messages and memos is approximately 11 minutes. The actual
recording time depends on individual message characteristics. Messages remain
available for replay until you delete them.
New message indication
/PLAY/STOP light on the telephone base flashes, and
The
XX new messages displays on the handset and telephone
base when there are new answering system messages.
If the message alert tone is turned on, the telephone base
beeps every 10 seconds when there are messages that have
not been reviewed.
After reviewing all new messages, the total number of messages
displays on the telephone base screen.
