Answering system setup

alert tone. If your answering system is turned off and you update any of its
settings, the answering machine automatically turns on again.

leave a message after the tone.” You can use this preset announcement, or
replace it with your own.
You can turn the answering system on or off from either the handset or the
telephone base, but you can only use the handset to change other answering
system settings.
