Answering system overview
Answering system and voicemail indicators
Your telephone has separate indicators for two different types of voice 
messages: those left on its built-in answering system and those left on  
your service provider’s voicemail (fees may apply). Your telephone’s  
built-in answering system messages and voicemail messages are separate. 
Each alerts you to new messages differently.
If 
xx new messages displays on the handset and the message window on 
the telephone base flashes, there are new messages recorded on the  
built-in answering system. To listen to your message(s), press  
mEnU/SElECT twice on the handset (page 60) or press  /PlAy/
SToP
 on 
the telephone base (page 60).
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, dial an access number provided by your telephone service 
provider, followed by a security code or PIN.
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 the answering system, turn off the 
answering system. To use the answering system rather than your voicemail 
service, contact your telephone service provider to deactivate your voicemail 
service. 
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. 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.
If you have voicemail provided by your telephone service provider, we 
recommend setting your answering system to answer calls at least 2 rings 
earlier than your voicemail is set to answer. For example, if your voicemail 
answers after 6 rings, set your answering system to answer after 4 rings. 
Some voicemail providers may program the delay before answering calls 
in seconds instead of rings. In this case, allow 6 seconds per ring when 
determining the appropriate setting.
