Can I set up the answer machine so I cannot hear the outgoing message and incoming message when they are happening?

yes, the function you want is called "Call Screening." If Call Screening is set to ON you can hear the incoming message. If it is set to off you should not. Call Screening (p 24 of the User Guide) From the Answering Sys Menu: 1. Press the VOL (- or +) button to scroll to the Call Screening . 2. Press SELECT Soft key. Use the VOL (- or +) button to select On or Off . 3. Press the SELECT Soft key to save your selection and the screen displays Saved

It should not be a problem. The alarm only makes outgoing calls and only if the sensor is triggered by a power outage or a cold temperature. It would be very unlikely an incoming call that your answering machine would pick up would occur at the same time that the alarm would be making an outgoing call. If you get a call from the alarm it will ask you to press a key to acknowledge the alert and avoid repeated calls about the alert.

Sorry, don't know about interference. Don't think there is a silent call feature.

I think on the top of the base you will find a button, perhaps in the lower right corner. the button has a circle on it with a line at 12 oclock. if you push it, it will tell you the answering machine is off. push it again and the message will tell you if it is on. then your answering machine message will play. its that easy on my machine.

Sorry can't help you. I took mine out and got a new answering machine. Didn't like this one.

I believe you can disable the voice mail and use your phone company's voice mail. You have to make sure that the SYN248 no answer timers are longer than the phone company's voice mail timers.

Alexandria - There is an ANSWER ON/OFF button on the base. Ensure the answering system is turned off. Thanks!

No. It says "incoming call." You can answer by saying "answer," or ignore by saying "ignore." But it works very well for me!

All your answers can be found on pages 18 and 45 of your instruction manual. Assuming you have set your 2-digit access code (default is 19), enter it when the system answers (before it has finished its answering message) and it will automatically announce the number of messages (new or old) if there are any, and then begin to play them for you. Hope this helps.

We've never tried to use silent mode. Do you have call blocking? We don't, so I wouldn't expect it to work.

Yes, there is an on/off button for the answering machine so if you choose "off" it will not answer calls.

The base unit includes an aswering machine. The user can set the number of rings for it to answer or shut it off. The volume of the message playback and the ringer can also be adjusted. If the user is not near the answering machine or is screening calls, they can listen on a handset to the voice message as the other party is leaving the message. They can also playback the message on the handests. I love this feature. For example, if I'm busy in the kitchen where I have a handset mounted, I can listen to the message as it is coming in and decide whether to drop everything and aswer it or just let the answering machine record it. The feature can also be shut off if the user doesn't want it. Both the base unit and handsets can be mounted on the wall.

I won't think so. I never tried sending / receiving messages? when the car is running, it's hard to understand the sound.

unless there is some instruction that i over looked, there is no beeping sound for unread messages. There's clarity problems with this phone- the voice cracks and fades out on both the caller and the receiver at times.

When an imcoming call is received it will notify: "call from <incoming phone number> say 'answer' or 'ignore'

It is a 4 line phone. Not an answering machine. If your speaking of the intercom on it there is a volume control on top of the phone. There is also a DND (Do Not Disturb) button.

You can turn the answering machine off...and I do believe that you can also turn down the answer volume. It's at my parents house , so I would have to check.
