9.12.1 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 yourvoicemai I 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
voicemai I 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.
9.12.2 Message Capacity
The answering system can record and store up to 99 messages. Each message can
be up to 3 minutes in length depending on the message length set. The total storage
capacity for the outgoing message, messages and memos is approximately 30
minutes. The actual recording time depends on individual message characteristics.
Messages remain available for replay until you delete them.

telephone base, message playback, remote access and recording outgoing messages.
