Using the System While You’re Away from Home
You can also operate your answering system from any touch-tone phone. Before you
can use this feature, you have to program a security code.
Programming a Security Code
With the phone in standby, open the menu. Select
Answering Setup
, then select
Security Code
. Use the number keypad to enter a two-digit security code (01 to 99).
Press
MENU/OK
when you’re finished.

Remember to make a note of your new security code!
Dialing in to Your System
1. Call your telephone number and wait for the system to answer.
- If you have the Ring Time set to Toll Saver, the system answers after 2 rings if you
have new messages and 4 rings if you don’t. You can hang up during the third ring.
- If your answering system is off, it will answer after about 15 rings and sound a
series of beeps instead of your greeting.
2. During the greeting (or beeps), press # and immediately enter your security code. (If
you enter it incorrectly 3 times, the system hangs up and returns to standby.)
3. The system announces the time, the number of messages in memory, and a
help prompt. It beeps
intermittently to let you
know it’s waiting for a
command.
4. When you hear beeping,
enter a 2-digit command
from the chart:
#
If you don’t press any keys for 15 seconds, the phone will hang up and return to
standby.

#2
Play message
#3
Skip message
#4
Delete message
#5

#6

#9

If you mute the call screen, the system continues taking the message: it just stops
playing through the speaker.
