About the answering system
New message indication
The message window on the telephone base flashes
and shows on the handset when there are new
answering system messages.
If the new message alert tone is turned on, the
telephone base beeps every 10 seconds when there are
unreviewed messages.
Call screening at the telephone base
If the answering system is on and the telephone base volume is not off (set to 1
or higher), you hear the announcement and the incoming message when a call
comes in. If you want the telephone base to be silent while recording messages,
make sure the telephone base volume is set to 0.
Call intercept
While screening a call, you can stop recording and speak to the caller by
pressing PHONE/
FLASH
or SPEAKER on the handset.
Base ringer
Press VOLUMEST on the telephone base to adjust the ringer volume when
the telephone is not in use.
A sample of the ringer sounds as you adjust the volume. The telephone base
announces, “Base ringer is off.” when you set the volume to 0.
Temporarily turning off the message alert tone
Pressing any telephone base key (except HANDSET LOCATOR)
temporarily silences the message alert tone.
If you press XDELETE when in idle mode, there is a voice prompt to direct
you to press XDELETE again to delete all old messages, and the message
alert tone is temporarily silenced.
The message alert tone is re-activated with the next incoming message.
Voice prompts
The system provides voice prompts to guide you through remote access and
recording outgoing announcements.
NOTE: If the answering system has less than five minutes of
recording time left, the remaining time is announced.
