Answering system and voicemail
Your telephone has both a digital answering system and voicemail indication.
Most telephone companies offer voicemail service (fees may apply). Your
telephone’s answering system and voicemail indication are independent
features, and each alerts you to new messages differently. For more
information on the voicemail indicators, see page 11. To listen to your
voicemail, follow the instructions provided by your voicemail service provider.
To listen to messages recorded on your digital answering system, see page 33.
If you subscribe to a voicemail service through your telephone service
provider, you can use your telephone answering system and voicemail
together. If you are on a call, or the answering system is busy 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, set your voicemail to answer calls
after six rings and set your answering system to answer after four rings.
Message capacity
The answering system can record and store up to 99 messages. Each
message can be up to four 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.
Some telephone companies program the delay before answering calls in
seconds instead of rings; in this case, allow six seconds per ring when
determining the appropriate setting.
