Enter a two-digit number (10-99) for remote
access from another phone (see page 39).
When the Answering System is turned on
(and the ANSWER ON light is on) and the
Message Alert function is activated, any
new incoming message will increase the
flashing number in the message window
by one, and a beep tone will sound every
ten seconds as a reminder that there are
unreviewed messages on the answering
system.
When on, callers hear an announcement
but cannot leave messages (see page 34).
When on, you can hear callers leave
messages, or answer the call.
Choose number of rings before the system
answers a call. When Toll Saver is acti-
vated, the system answers after 2 rings if
you have new messages, and after 4 rings
if you have no new messages.
NOTE: Press and hold CHANGE to advance the remote access
code number by 10.

NOTE: To temporarily dis-
able the message alert tone, press
any key on the answering system
except ANSWER ON/OFF. This

tone but the number in the mes-
sage window will continue to flash
as a reminder that there are unre-
viewed messages on the answer-
ing system. The message alert
tone will be re-activated with the
next incoming message.
NOTE: To switch off the
message alert tone for all incom-
ing messages, read the section
on disabling the message alert
function in this user's manual.
