New message notification
After the answering system records a caller message, the base unit can call a phone number of
your choosing and then play the new message back when you answer the phone. You can
assign a remote code to maintain the privacy of your messages; if the remote code is assigned,
the base unit will not play new messages unless the code is entered.
