Call intercept
When a caller is leaving a message on your answering system, you can
stop recording and talk to the caller by pressing HOME/FLASH or
/SPEAKER on the handset, or pressing HOME on the telephone base.
Temporarily turning off 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.
If you press X/DELETE when in idle mode to temporarily turn off 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 off. 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.
