About the answering system
Temporarily turning o the message alert tone
If the message alert tone is turned on, the telephone base beeps
every ten seconds when there are new messages. Pressing any
telephone base key (except /HANDSET LOCATOR) temporarily
silences the message alert tone.
However, if you press a key at the telephone base to silence the
message alert tone, the telephone base will also perform the
corresponding key function. For example, if you press X/DELETE
when in idle mode to temporarily turn o the message alert tone,
there is a voice prompt directing you to press X/DELETE again
to delete all old messages. The message alert tone is temporarily
o. Only press X/DELETE a second time if you wish to erase all old
messages in your answering system.
The message alert tone resumes when you receive another
message.
