Answering system and voicemail

Your telephone has both a digital answering system and voicemail indication. Most telephone companies offer voicemail service (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 8 . To listen to your voicemail, follow the instructions provided by your voicemail service provider. To listen to messages recorded on your digital answering system, see page 28.

If you subscribe to a voicemail service through your telephone service provider, you can use your telephone answering system and voicemail together. If you are on a call, or the answering system is busy 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, set your voicemail to answer calls after six rings and set your answering system to answer after four rings.

Some telephone companies 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 99 messages. Each message can be up to four minutes in length. The total storage capacity for the announcement, messages and memos is approximately 14 minutes. The actual recording time depends on individual message characteristics. Messages remain available for replay until you delete them.
