phone beeping

[andygale]

the base of my bt4600 beeps every 11 seconds. How to stop?

[imjolly]

could you have a message in answering machine or 1471/1571?

have you tried switching base of for 10 min and then turn back on?

Thanks yes, I've tried that, no change.

Does it stop beeping when when you put it on charge or maybe when you take it off the charger or does it beep regardless of whether it is charging or not?

Hi @andygale welcome to the community and thanks for posting, that sounds like it's the answering machine message alert.  Following the guidance on Page 58 of the BT 4600 user manual may help.

Set the message alert on or off
1. Select Menu, Answer Phone is displayed, press OK.
2. Press Calls until Answer settings is displayed,
press OK.
3. Answer and record is displayed , press OK.
4. Press Calls to display Message alert and press OK.
Then press Vol or Calls to display On or Off and
press OK. Saved will be displayed

Thanks

Neil

In our case the we were replacing an old broken BT4500 phone with the new BT4600 model and after 12 hours we found it started beeping.

We found that we had left the old phone in the same room as the new one and when the batteries ran low on one of the hand sets it started making a double beep once a minute. Once we has realised it was the old broken phone making the noise we remove it from the room.

If the handset has a low battery it sounds  a double beep once every minute.

With the new phone if it has a new message recorded it beeps once every 10 seconds. This clears once you have pressed the play button and listened to the message.

This new message alert can be disabled if required and the details are explained on page 58 of the manual.
