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 10. 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 31.

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.

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.

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.
