message alert tone, the telephone base will also perform the 
corresponding key function. For example, if you press X/DELETE 
there is a voice prompt directing you to press X/DELETE again

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.
