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 10. 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 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. 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.
