About the answering system
Call intercept
When a caller is leaving a message on your answering system, you can
stop recording and talk to the caller by pressing HOME/FLASH or
/SPEAKER on the handset.
Temporarily turning off the message alert tone
Pressing any telephone base key (except /HANDSET LOCATOR and
X/DELETE) temporarily silences the message alert tone. The message alert
tone plays with the next incoming message.
If you press X/DELETE when in idle mode to temporarily turn off the message
alert tone, there is a voice prompt directing you to press X/DELETE again
to delete all old messages. The message alert tone is temporarily off. Only
press X/DELETE a second time if you wish to erase all old messages in your
answering system.
The message alert tone resumes when you receive a new message.
