About the answering system
New message indication
The message window on the telephone base flashes and
shows on the handset when there are new answering
system messages.
If the new message alert tone is turned on, the telephone
base beeps every 10 seconds when there are unreviewed
messages.
Call screening at the telephone base
If the answering system is on and the telephone base volume is not off (set
to 1 or higher), you hear the announcement and the incoming message when
receiving a call. If you want the telephone base to be silent while recording
messages, make sure you set the telephone base volume to 0.
Call intercept
While screening a call, you can stop recording and speak to the caller by
pressing PHONE
/FLASH or SPEAKER on the handset.
Base ringer
Press VOLUMEST on the telephone base to adjust the ringer volume when
the telephone is not in use.
You hear a sample of the ringer while adjusting the volume. The telephone
base announces, “Base ringer is off.” when you set the volume to 0.
Voice prompts
The system provides voice prompts to guide you through remote access and
recording outgoing announcements.
Temporarily turning off the message alert tone
Pressing any telephone base key (except HANDSET LOCATOR)
temporarily silences the message alert tone.
If you press XDELETE when in idle mode, there is a voice prompt to direct
you to press XDELETE again to delete all old messages, and the message
alert tone is temporarily off.
The message alert tone is re-activated with the next incoming message.
NOTE: If the answering system has less than five minutes of
recording time left, it announces the remaining time.
