Answering system operation
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.
Message capacity
The answering system can record and store up to 99 messages. Each
message can be up to three minutes in length. The total storage capacity
for the announcement, messages, memos and reminders is approximately
14 minutes. The actual recording time depends on individual message
characteristics. Messages remain available for replay until you delete them.
