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 33).
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 two rings if you
have new messages, and after four rings if
you have no new messages.

but the number in the message window will continue to flash as a remind-
er that there are unreviewed messages on the answering system. The
message alert tone will be re-activated with the next incoming message.
