Night mode
Night mode allows you to select a period of
time during which the handset will not ring for
outside calls. This feature is useful for time
periods when you do not want to be disturbed,
for example, while sleeping. Night mode can
be set for each handset.
For personal phonebook (page 22), you can
also select categories of callers whose calls
override night mode and ring the handset
(Caller ID subscribers only).
Important:
R Set the date and time beforehand
(page 15).
R We recommend turning the base unit ringer
off (page 30) in addition to turning the night
mode on. (KX-TG8561 series: page 3)

even if the night mode is turned on.
