Answering system and voicemail
About answering system and voicemail
Your telephone has separate indicators for two dierent types of voice
messages: those le on its built-in answering system and those le at
your service provider’s voicemail (fees may apply). Your telephone’s built-in
answering system messages and voicemail messages are separate. Each
alerts you to new messages dierently.
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 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 o the
answering system. To use the answering system rather than your voicemail
service, contact your telephone service provider to deactivate the voicemail
service. You can also use your telephone answering system and voicemail
together by setting the 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.
If you have voicemail provided by your telephone service provider, we
recommend setting your answering system to answer calls at least two rings
earlier than your voicemail is set to answer. For example, if your voicemail
answers aer six rings, set your answering system to answer aer 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.
Answering system new message indicator
When there are new messages (including memos) on the answering system,
the number of new messages stored ashes in the message window on the
telephone base and the icon and XX NEW MESSAGES
appear on the screen of each system handset. If the new
message alert tone is turned on, the telephone base beeps
every 10 seconds when there are new messages.
To listen to messages recorded on your digital answering
system, use the PLAY MESSAGES menu from a handset or press
PLAY/STOP on the telephone base (see Message playback on page 46).
