Use the built-in answering
system and voicemail service
You can use your answering system and
voicemail service together by setting
your answering system to answer before
voicemail service answers as described
below. To learn how to program your
voicemail settings, contact your telephone
service provider.
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 service is set to answer. For
example, if your voicemail service answers
after six rings, set your answering system
to answer after four rings. Some voicemail
service 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.
Retrieve voicemail from
telephone service
Voicemail is a feature available from most
telephone service providers. It may be
included with your telephone service, or
may be optional. Fees may apply.
Retrieve voicemail
When you received a voicemail, the
handset displays and New voicemail.
To retrieve, you typically dial an access
number provided by your telephone
service provider, and then enter a security
code. Contact your telephone service
provider for instructions on how to
configure the voicemail settings and listen
to messages.

messages, the indicators on the handset turn
off automatically.
