About the answering system
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 turn 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.
