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. 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 digital

answering system, press PLAY/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.
