 (toll-saver) (see 

“Setting the Number of Rings” on Page 15), 
the system answers after two rings if you 
have new messages (ones you have not 
listened to). If there are no new messages, 
the system answers after four rings so you 
can hang up before the system answers and 
avoid unnecessary long-distance charges. If 
the system's message memory is full, the 
system answers after about 10 rings 
regardless of the ring time setting.

USING REMOTE 
COMMANDS

Follow these steps to operate the answering 
system from a remote location.

Note: If you wait more than 15 seconds 
between each keypress, the system beeps 
and hangs up. 

1. Dial your phone number and wait for the 

system to answer. If the system is not 
set to answer calls, it will answer after 
about 10 rings and beep.

2. When the outgoing message begins (or 

the system beeps), press #, then enter 
your security code within 2 seconds.

If the code is correct, the system 
announces the number of new and old 
messages, then “To play incoming 

message, press pound two. For help, 
press pound zero.” 

If the system does not respond, try 
entering your code again. If you enter an 
incorrect code three times, the system 
beeps and hangs up. 

3. While the system is beeping, press # 

and (within 2 seconds) the number for 
the remote command you want.

Play messages. The remote playback 
of incoming messages is limited to 4 
minutes. If you have more messages 
after 4 minutes have passed, you 
must press #2 again to listen to the 
rest of the messages.

3

recorded by remote operation must 
be over 2 seconds and within 4 
minutes. Press #7 again or #5 to stop 
recording.
