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, 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 74).
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 your voicemail 
service, contact your telephone service provider to deactivate your 
voicemail service. 
 NOTE: After reviewing all new messages, the number of old messages appears on the 
message counter.
