Useful Information
Voicemail service
In addition to your unit’s answering system you may also have voicemail service from your phone service provider. Voicemail is an answering service that may be offered by your phone service provider. This service can also record calls when you are unavailable to answer the phone or when your line is busy. Messages are recorded on the phone company system and not on the unit’s answering system.
To use the voicemail service rather than the unit’s answering system, turn off the answering system (page 24).
If you have unit’s answering system set to on and also the voicemail enabled, the system with least amount of rings will record the message first.
Example: If the unit’s answering system is set to 4 rings (page 26) and the voicemail answering system provided by your phone company is set to 6 rings (call your service provider), the unit’s answering system will record the incoming call first.

Note: When storing your voicemail access number and your mailbox password, press (Pause) to add pauses (page 12) between the access number and the password as necessary. Contact your phone service provider for the required pause time.
