Answering system and voicemail indicators
Your telephone has separate indicators for two different types
of voice messages: those left on its built-in digital answering
system and those left at 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 and XX New messages show on the handset
and the message window on the telephone base
flashes, there are new messages in the built-in
answering system. To listen to messages recorded on
your digital
answering system, press /PLAY/STOP
on the telephone base (page 35).
If and New voicemail display on the handset, your telephone service
provider is indicating that it has new voicemail for you. To listen to your
voicemail, dial an access number provided by your telephone service
provider, followed by a security code or PIN.
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 the answering system, turn off the
answering system. To use the answering system rather than the voicemail
service, contact your telephone service provider to deactivate the
voicemail service.
NOTE: After reviewing all new messages, the number of old messages appears on the
message window.
