About the answering system
Answering system and voicemail
Your telephone has separate indicators for two different types of voice 
messages: those recorded on its built-in answering system and those 
recorded in 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
 and XX New messages display on the handsets and the message 
window on the telephone base flashes, there are new messages in the 
built-in answering system. To listen to messages recorded on your digital 
answering system, press 
/PLAY/
STOP
 on the telephone base. To listen 
to messages with a handset, see To listen to messages with a handset on 
page 125.
If
 and New voicemail display on the handsets, 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.
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. 
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. 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.
