About the answering system
Using the answering machine 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. If you are on a call, or 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 up to 99 messages, depending on the 
length of each message. Individual messages can be up to three minutes, 
and the maximum recording time is approximately 14 minutes. The actual 
recording time depends on individual message characteristics. Messages 
remain available for replay until you delete them.
When there are new messages (including memos) on the answering system, 
the number of messages stored shows in the message counter.
If the answering system has less than three minutes of recording time 
left, it announces, “Less than three minutes to record,” before message 
playback at the handset or the telephone base. 
Rec mem low displays on 
the device screen in idle mode. When you turn on the answering system at 
the telephone base, it announces, “Calls will be answered. Less than three 
minutes to record.”
 
If the memory is full, the answering system announces, “Memory is full,” 
before message playback. The device screen displays 
Rec mem full in idle 
mode. Once the memory is full, you cannot turn the answering system back 
on if it has been turned off, nor can you record new messages until old 
ones have been deleted. 
Memory full displays if you want to turn on the 
answering system on the handset but there is no memory.
