Will my answering machine work on my land line with the alarm hooked up and how do you call it?

It should not be a problem. The alarm only makes outgoing calls and only if the sensor is triggered by a power outage or a cold temperature. It would be very unlikely an incoming call that your answering machine would pick up would occur at the same time that the alarm would be making an outgoing call. If you get a call from the alarm it will ask you to press a key to acknowledge the alert and avoid repeated calls about the alert.

The phone should work if you are plugging it into a land line, which requires a jack.

We use the Verizon answering service, so I can't say for sure. My guess is you plug the answering machine into the ringer, then the phone into the answering machine.

Follow the instructions to hook up the answer machine with the fax. It works great!!! If the call is a fax the fax machine picks up; if the call is a voice call and you don't answer it it will go to the answer machine that you attach to the fax.

just plug a normal phone, or connect the landline cable of your alarm on the dialer line plug.

Good morning and thank you for your question. Our system is manufactured to only ring to our emergency call center; it is unable to be re-programmed.

Answering service or machine will work just fine if set up according to the directions. I haven't tried calling the system, it usually initiates the calls.

We use the system with any phone someone has in the house. But you need to plug the phone cord directly into the unit and not into the phone. If you want to use the telephone you must disconnect the alarm and replug into the phone. This is a very good alarm unit but some people do have problems setting it up. Once you figure it out you can call you home from any location and receive information about the temperature in the house, and power.

The phone is like any other phone, just an old-time inspired shape. So you can plug an answering machine into the phone socket and the phone into the answering machine (the standard arrangement) and all will work just fine.

Your land line will work normally! It will ring for both incoming landline and cell calls. I set the ringer for my cell to be different from the regular land line ringer so I could tell the difference. To make a land line call, just pick up and dial. To make a call from your linked cell just dial the number and press the button where the screen says "cell" and it will call from your cell! It's pretty awesome! The link is seamless :)

Make sure there is power to the headset, push the "find receiver" button on your base station, and let it work its magic. By base station, I mean the main phone, usually the one with the answering machine

If you have an answering machine connected to the same line as the alarm you can still call in to check. If, for example, the answering machine picks up after 4 rings, the way to access the alarm is to call, let it ring 3 times, hang up and call again. The alarm "remembers" the first call so it will now pick up during the second call. You will be given current readings without having to enter a remote access code, but to do anything else you will need to use one.

You need a smarter phone. I am sure that Amazon should have a product for your landline phone.

I don't believe so. If your land line answering machine is enabled with Bluetooth (which I don't think it would be) it may be possible, but it's highly unlikely. This is mainly for cell phone use which is Bluetooth enabled.

Let me know if you need to connect a landline phone to work. Or if you can use a GSM Chip. Is that we only want to make noise, but if given other functions better.

You need a landline, so it can call you, not meant for a cell phone. As far as the function light going on, that should be from the battery, as far as I know.

Does anyone know how to make the answering machine work for line 2 when I am talking on line 1? I have two phone lines connected to it and I can't seem to get that to happen. It just rings and rings.
