Remotely Operating Your Answering Machine

You can access your answering machine while you are away from home to check, play, delete messages, or even record a new greeting message or to turn your answering machine on and off.

Note:

q       The answering machine will only playback messages for four minutes and then it returns to the command-waiting mode. To continue playing your messages, press [0] then [2] again within 15 seconds.

q       If you enter an incorrect security code three times, you will hear a beep and the answering machine will return to standby.

To operate from a remote location, use any touch-tone telephone, and follow these steps:

1.       Call your telephone number and wait for the answering machine to answer. If the answering machine is off, it will answer after about 10 rings and series of beeping sounds.

2.       During the greeting message (or a series of beeps when the answering machine is off), press [0] and enter your PIN code within 2 seconds (see "Setting a Security Code or Personal Identification Number (PIN)" on page 57).

3.       The answering machine announces the current time and the number of messages stored in memory. You hear "To play incoming messages, press zero-two. For help, press one-zero." You will hear a beep.

4.       Enter a remote command within 15 seconds, each command there after must be entered within 2 seconds. You may select a command from the following chart:

Remote Commands

* To Repeat a Message, press [0] then [1] within four seconds to repeat the previous message, or press [0] then [1] after four seconds to repeat the current message.

** For the Memo Record and Greeting Record/Stop, the first time you enter the corresponding command, it starts the Recording. If you want to stop the recording, press [0] then [7], [8], or [5].

1. When you finish, you will hear intermittent beeps indicating that the answering machine is in the command waiting mode. You can enter another command from the chart, or you can hang up to exit the answering ma­chine.

2. When you hang up, the answering machine automatically returns to its normal standby setting.
