Primus resolved this problem with the firmware release in April 2005.

The chirps and squelches have been replaced by normal beeps in most cases since the firmware upgrade in April 2005. If you still have chirps (all the time), post the details in the BUG REPORTING Forum.

When it can occur
The chirps and squelches are generally an artifact of Visual Call Waiting and the Message Waiting Indicator (MWI) signal on TBB; heard when you are on the TBB phone and a second call is ringing through, or a new VoiceMail has been left.

The chirps are akin to Visual Call Waiting on standard POTS lines, where you hear the "clicks" (Number & Name being transmitted to your phone) and "beep" letting you know a call is waiting.

The squelch seems related to the MWI information being downloaded to the DVG ATA while you are on the TBB line. The squelch is an annoying sound for a lot of users and has been reported in the Forums.
