REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION
While you are away from your home
or office, you can use a touch-tone
phone or a pulse phone with a pocket
tone dialer to:
• Set the answering system to
answer calls
• Play your messages
• Erase your messages
REMOTE ANSWER-ON
You can use any remote phone to set
the answering system to answer calls
if:
• The answering system has power.
• The cassette is loaded.
• The answering system is off.
To set the answering system to an-
swer calls, dial your phone number
and wait about 60 seconds until the
answering system answers. Then
hang up the phone.
Note: Be sure to turn on the system
when you get home, to play back any
recorded messages.
REMOTE PLAYBACK
You must know your remote operation
security code to play back your mes-
sages from a remote phone. This
code (a 3-digit number) is printed on
the bottom of your answering system.
To play back your messages from a
remote phone, follow these steps.
1. Dial your phone number.
If the answering system is set to
TOLL SAVER
, it answers on the
second ring if there are mes-
sages. If there are no messages,
the answering system answers on
the fourth ring.
2. When the outgoing message
stops and a beep sounds, enter
the remote operation security
code within 5 seconds. Be sure
each button press is at least
1
/
2
second long. The answering sys-
tem sounds a tone while the tape
rewinds. If no tone sounds, re-
enter the code.
Note: If you do not enter the code
within 5 seconds, the answering
system hangs up.
The answering system plays back the
incoming messages. At the end of all
the messages, you hear various single
beeps and tones, then the answering
system sounds four short beeps.
Note: The answering system auto-
matically saves your messages after
remote playback.
To replay the messages, wait about 8
seconds after the four short beeps.
When you hear a single beep, enter
the remote operation security code
again.
