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.
