Press REC/MEMO to record your
outgoing announcement (see page 30).
Press STOP to stop recording.
Enter a two-digit number (10-99) for remote
access from another phone (see page 36).
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 mes-
sages on the answering system.
When on, callers hear an announcement
but cannot leave messages (see page 31).
Choose this option to turn the base ringer
on or off (does not affect handset).
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.
NOTES:
1. Press and hold CHANGE to advance the remote access code num-
ber by 10.
2. To temporarily disable the message alert tone, press any answering
machine key (TIME/SET, SETUP, CHANGE, REC/MEMO,
PLAY/STOP, DELETE, REPEAT and SKIP) 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 unreviewed
messages on the answering system. The message alert tone will be re-
activated with the next incoming message.
(Play/Stop)
NOTE: To switch off the
message alert tone for all
incoming messages, read the
section on disabling the message
alert function in the list above on
this page.
