Answering system and voicemail
Your telephone has separate indicators for two different types of voice
messages: those left on its built-in answering system and those left at your
service provider’s voicemail. Your telephone’s built-in answering system
messages and voicemail messages are separate. Each alerts you to new
messages differently.
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, you typically dial an access number provided by your telephone
service provider, followed by a security code or PIN.

messages. Press MENU/
SELECT twice on the handset (page 31) or
/PLAY/STOP on the telephone base (page 31) to listen.
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 your answering system, turn off your
answering system. To use your answering system rather than your voicemail
service, contact your telephone service provider to deactivate your voicemail
service. 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 and memos is approximately 14 minutes.
The actual recording time depends on individual message characteristics.
Messages remain available for replay until you delete them.
