About the answering system
Using the answering machine 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. If you are on a call, or 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.
Message capacity
The answering system can record up to 99 messages, depending
on the length of each message. Individual messages can be up to
three minutes, and the maximum recording time is approximately
22 minutes. The actual recording time depends on individual
message characteristics. Messages remain available for replay until
you delete them.
Voice prompts
The system provides voice prompts to guide you through the setup
procedures on your handsets, message playback, remote access
and recording outgoing announcements. The system also provide
basic answering system setup via voice guide to record your own
announcement, set the number of rings, and set the message
alert tone.
