Answering system operation
Answering system and voicemail
Your telephone has separate indicators for two different types of voice messages: those left on its built-in answering system and those left at your service providers voicemail (fees may apply). Your telephones built-in answering system messages and voicemail messages are separate. Each alerts you to new messages differently. If and New voicemail display on the telephone base and handset, 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. To listen to messages recorded on your digital answering system, press /PLAY/STOP on the telephone base (page 68). 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. You can use your telephone answering system and voicemail together by setting your built-in answering system to answer before voicemail answers. To learn how to program your voicemail settings, contact your telephone service provider. 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. By doing this, 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.

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.

New message indication

When there are new answering system messages, shows on the handset and the telephone base. When the new message alert tone is turned on, the telephone base beeps every 10 seconds when there are unreviewed messages.

Call intercept

When a caller is leaving a message on your answering system, you can stop recording and talk to the caller by pressing /HOME/FLASH or on the handset or /HOME on the telephone base. 67

The handset may be out of range. Move it closer to the telephone base. If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (digital subscriber line - DSL) through your telephone line, you must install a DSL filter between the telephone base and the telephone wall jack. The filter prevents noise and caller ID problems caused by DSL interference. Please contact your DSL service provider for more information about DSL filters. Appliances or other cordless telephones plugged into the same circuit as the telephone base can cause interference. Try moving the appliance or telephone base to another outlet. Other electronic products may cause interference to your cordless telephone.

If your telephone is plugged in with a modem or a surge protector, plug the telephone (or modem/surge protector) into a different location. If this doesnt solve the problem, re-locate your telephone or modem farther apart from each other, or use a different surge protector. The location of your telephone base can impact the performance of your cordless phone. For better reception, install the telephone base in a centralized location within your home or office, away from walls or other obstructions. In many environments, elevating the telephone base improves overall performance. Disconnect the telephone base from the telephone wall jack and plug in a corded telephone.

The answering system does not record messages.
Make sure the answering system is on. When the answering machine memory is full, it does not record new messages until some old messages are deleted. If you subscribe to voicemail service, change the number of rings so that your answering system answers before your voicemail answers (page 39).

If the callers voice is very soft, the answering system may stop recording and disconnect the call. Make sure your remote access code is correct (page 40). Make sure you are calling from a touch-tone telephone. When dialing a number, there should be tones. If there are clicks, then it is not a touch-tone telephone and cannot activate the answering system. The answering system may not detect the remote access code when your announcement is playing. Wait until the announcement is over before entering the code. There may be interference on the telephone line you are using. Press the dial pad keys firmly when dialing. If the telephone is not responding normally, put the cordless handset in the telephone base.
