Answering system operation
Temporarily turning off the message alert tone
If the message alert tone is turned on, the telephone base beeps every 10 seconds when there are new or missed messages. Pressing any telephone base key (except /FIND HANDSET) temporarily silences the message alert tone.
If you press DELETE/X when in idle mode to temporarily turn off the message alert tone, there is a voice prompt directing you to press DELETE/X again to delete all old messages. The message alert tone is temporarily off. Only press DELETE/X a second time if you wish to erase all old messages in your answering system.
The message alert tone resumes when you receive a new message.
Message playback
On the telephone base, if you have new messages, the telephone plays only the new messages (oldest first). If there are no new messages, the telephone plays back all messages (oldest first).
On the handset, if you have both new and old messages, you can play either new or old messages. The caller ID information displays on the handset screen when you play messages and you can call back the caller.
When playback begins, the handset displays the message status, caller ID information, and time and date of the message recorded. You hear the total number of messages followed by the day and time of the message. After the last message, the telephone announces, “End of messages,” and the handset displays End of messages.
