Answering system and voicemail

Your telephone has separate indicators for two different types of voice messages:

those left on its built-in digital answering system and those left with your telephone

service provider’s voicemail (fees may apply). Your telephone’s built-in digital

answering system messages and voicemail messages are separate. Each alerts

you to new messages differently.

If

XX New messages displays on the handsets and the

message window on the telephone base flashes, there are

new messages in the built-in answering system. To listen to the

messages recorded on your digital answering system, press

/PLAY on the telephone base. To listen to messages with a

handset, see

To play messages on a handset on page 71.

If and

New voicemail display on the handsets, your telephone service

provider is indicating that it has new voicemail for you. To listen to your voicemail,

press and hold

1 on your handset. See Voicemail number on page 32 to set

your voicemail number.

Some telephone service providers bundle or combine multiple services like

voicemail and call waiting, so you may not be aware that you have voicemail. To

check what services you have and how to access them, contact your telephone

service provider.
To use your voicemail service rather than your answering system, turn off your

answering system. To use your answering system rather than your voicemail

service, contact your telephone service provider to deactivate your voicemail service.

Using the answering system and voicemail together

You can also use your telephone answering system and voicemail together by

setting your built-in answering system to answer before voicemail answers as

described below. To learn how to program your voicemail settings, contact your

telephone service provider. Then, 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.
