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.			HANDSET 1
NOTE: If the answering system has less than five minutes of recording
time left, the remaining time is announced.	10:21AM 11/13

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 a call comes in. If you want the telephone base to be silent while recording messages, make sure the telephone base volume is set 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 VOLUMEpq on the telephone base to adjust the ringer volume when the telephone is not in use.

A sample of the ringer sounds as you adjust the volume. The telephone base announces, “Base ringer is off.” when you set the volume to 0.

Temporarily turning off the message alert tone

Pressing any telephone base key (except HANDSET LOCATOR) temporarily silences the message alert tone.

If you press DELETE when in idle mode, there is a voice prompt to direct you to press DELETE again to delete all old messages, and the message alert tone is temporarily silenced.

The message alert tone is re-activated with the next incoming message.

Voice prompts

The system provides voice prompts to guide you through remote access and recording outgoing announcements.
