Important concepts
Personalize your phone
The ClearSounds A700 phone is feature-rich.
This manual describes all available features and
how to personalize your phone.
The features are described in unique topics that
lend themselves to scanning. If you see an inter-
esting feature, you can take the time to personalize
your phone using the instructions for that feature.
The default remote access PIN for this phone is
0000.
16
Important concepts
Choose answering machine or voicemail
Before you set up and personalize your new phone,
you must decide how you will store messages. You
must choose one method as a primary message
retrieval method: answering machine or voicemail.
The phone includes a built-in answering machine.
Voicemail service is purchased through your
telephone service provider. Each method has
unique features and benets.
When your line is engaged, voicemail service detects
and stores a record of incoming calls and messages,
whereas the answering machine does not.
If you prefer using an answering machine for
easy message access, but you also want to be
alerted to incoming calls when you are on the
line with another caller, you can primarily use the
answering machine and purchase voicemail with
the call waiting feature. For further information, see
page 95.
By default, the answering machine is turned off. To
turn on the answering machine and set it up, see
page 96.
17
Register additional handsets
Your telephone handset is registered to the base
(Base 1).
If you purchased additional ClearSounds A700E
handsets, you must register each additional
handset to the base. For registration instructions,
