KX-TU160 feature phone - how to change sms sound

[tridy]

Hi.

I have recently got Panasonic KX-TU160 for my father:

 

 

(unboxing video)

 

while there is an option for changing the ringtone with "Select from file" (MP3 files work):

 

 

there is no such option for changing the SMS/Message sound. There is only a fixed number (5) of tones to choose from:

 

 

these tones are kind of long and disturbing, especially when my father does not care about messages.

 

I would like to set it to something short or even silent, but I have not found a way of doing that.

 

There is only one volume setting for both Calls and Messages, so I cannot set them separately.

 

It has a USB-C connection and I can access the phone file system from a PC. I could not find the files that are Tones there.

 

Does anyone know how I can hack it so I could set one of the Tones to empty one or add my own or something similar?

 

Thanks!
