Handsets can be used to send and receive text messages. A
differentiation is made between urgent and normal messages
which are signalled in different ways on the handset. Every
message is stored in a list which can contain up to 6 entries.
You can set the behavior of the handset for more than 6
messages by means of the ”Message Memory: Overwrite”
menu item on page 17. You can also receive and send mes-
sages during a connection.
The signalling of normal and urgent messages can be effec-
ted by means of different ringer melodies and ringer types
(refer to menu: Ringer Settings on page 18).
Messages cannot be sent or received if the handset is outsi-
de the range of the system or is in the charger whilst ”Silent
charging” is switched on. Furthermore, it is not possible to
receive messages whilst there is an incoming call which has
not yet been taken (i.e. whilst your handset is ringing). If a
message cannot be delivered, the sender always hears an
alert tone. If a message is received whilst you are making a
menu setting, the menu is aborted and all entries which have
not yet been saved are not stored. Furthermore, phone num-
bers which have already been entered and the text of a mes-
sage which you are currently writing are lost if you receive a
message.
Urgent messages are messages which you must confirm. An
activated key lock is temporarily deactivated when receiving
such a message so that its receipt can be acknowledged. If
you receive an urgent message, this is immediately signalled
on the display and by the illuminated ring.
If you use the ringer, you can hear the melody for urgent
messages. The ringer volume reaches maximum during the
signalling process. If you receive an urgent message during a
call, you hear an alert tone every 10 seconds.
Normal messages are messages which you cannot confirm.
The ”Normal Message Display” setting (on page 16) can be
used to select whether or not a normal message is shown
immediately on the display.
