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.
However, if you press a key at the telephone base to silence the
message alert tone, the telephone base will also perform the
corresponding key function. For example, 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.
