Choose number of rings before the system
answers a call. When Toll Saver is active,
the system answers after 2 rings if you have
new messages, and after 4 rings if you
have no new messages.
Choose this option to turn the base
ringer on or off (does not affect cordless
handset).
When on, callers hear an announcement
but cannot leave messages (see page 31).
When on, the telephone beeps every 10
seconds when you have new messages.
Enter a two-digit number (10-99) for remote
access from another phone (see page 36).
Disabling the message alert function temporarily
When the answering system is turned on (the ANSWER
ON/OFF light is lit) and the message alert function is
activated, any new incoming message will increase the
flashing number in the message window by one, and a
beep tone will sound every ten seconds as a reminder
that there are unreviewed messages on the answering
system.
To temporarily disable the message alert tone, press any
key (except ANSWER ON/OFF and HANDSET LOCATOR
keys) on the base. This turns off the audio message
alert tone but the number in the message window will
continue to flash as a reminder that there are unre-
viewed messages on the answering system. The mes-
sage alert tone will be re-activated with the next incom-
ing message.
To switch off the message alert tone for all incoming
messages, read the section on disabling the message
alert function on this page above.
