Use the built-in answering
system and voicemail
service
You can use your answering system and
voicemail service together by setting
your answering system to answer before
voicemail service answers as described
below. To learn how to program your
voicemail settings, contact your
telephone service provider.
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, 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.
Retrieve voicemail from
telephone service
Voicemail is a feature available from
most telephone service providers. It may
be included with your telephone service,
or may be optional. Fees may apply.
Retrieve voicemail
When you received a voicemail, the
handset displays and New voicemail.
To retrieve, you typically dial an access
number provided by your telephone
service provider, and then enter a
security code. Contact your telephone
service provider for instructions on how
to configure the voicemail settings and
listen to messages.
NOTE
After you have listened to all new voicemail
messages, the indicators on the handset turn
off automatically.
