Daisy, I'm sorry that I don't know the answer to your question. I connected directly to my phone equipped with voice mail. --Gayle

I have my answering machine on one outlet and the caller ID on a different outlet and have had no problem. Iwould think you could also set it up as outlet>caller ID>answering machine

I believe that the first answer you got from Scriptsgeek is the correct way to hook it up to a separate answering machine. If your answering machine is a combination answering machine and telephone in one unit you would not need a third telephone cord. Then you would plug one end of the first cord into the wall jack and the other end into the line receptacle on your caller ID unit. The second cord would be plugged into the phone receptacle on you caller ID unit, and the other end into your phone,(This is only if it is a combination answering machine and telephone all in one unit). Otherwise the 3 wire setup that Scriptsgeek sounds like the right way to me. I believe that the first answer you got from Scriptsgeek is the correct way to hook it up to a separate answering machine.

Hi Daisy, To set this up with a separate answering machine you will need three phone cords. If you do not have enough you can pick them up at any Walmart or hardware store. Start by running a phone line from the wall to the Caller ID unit input. Then run a phone line from the Caller ID unit output to the answering machine input. The run the last phone line from the answering machine output to the telephone. This will ensure that each device is in the proper order to do it's job:). I hope this helps!

Sort of. You could setup a shared line appearance and they'd both ring at the same time. A lot of this depends on which VOIP system you're using, as this would be a feature of the system.

I dont know what kind of phone options you have. I know i have a answering.machine and it didnt work for me so i just did not use that feature on the unit. Still have yet to see if the sensor will work. I hope i am not out of signal range or interference . I have one sensor in the basement and the phone dialer on the second floor.

I have that answering machine/phone combo and I bought that phone that you questioned and they work great together. It was several years ago, but should still work.

No, you don't. It is easy, and takes about 1 minute to set up. My mother loves it. She can hear the phone ring from other rooms of the house. Before getting this device, she sometimes missed calls if she was not in the same room as the phone. Tt is a great product.

yes there is an answering machine that works on both lines. Machine is no problem.

I see no problem, what you would have to do is just plug the phone line into the answering machine then the answering machine to the phone jack.

It is a 4 line phone. Not an answering machine. If your speaking of the intercom on it there is a volume control on top of the phone. There is also a DND (Do Not Disturb) button.

I faced this need and satisfied it by buying a complete new system with the answering part, then I used only the hand sets. I think I found a source for the handsets, and it was cheaper to buy the complete set and use only the new handsets. If you buy additional handsets, I found you had to cancel all the current handsets and then re link the old as well as the new handsets. Worked fine doing that.

You will need a VOIP / SIP telephony server. Google "SIP Voip PBX free" then read. You'll figure it out.

Sorry can't help you. I took mine out and got a new answering machine. Didn't like this one.

The answering machine function is with your phone, not the OBI. You need to have a phone service with the OBI, and whoever your provider is can also offer an answering function, but you can elect to just have your panasonic phone system be your answering function

Make sure the phone line coming from your house is connected directly into the fax machine, then connect the fax machine phone line to your answering machine. In addition you have to set up your fax maching to answer faxes on the forth ring and set you answering machine to answer calls on the third ring (less rings than your fax machine). Lastly, set the fax maching to "TAD" (telephone & answering device) located on the top right of the fax machine. This button can accidently be bumped. Check if it is still on "TAD".

No this phone does not have an answering machine feature, you would have to purchase a separate answering machine.

The main line has an answering Device...not the second one in this picture. But you would need the main line anyway. Good luck.. JB

Yes, you can access the answering system remotely - you set up a 3-digit access code that you enter when the greeting message starts. We do it all the time - no problems!
