Answering Machine
Ending remote operation
To cease remote operation, just hang up or press
key twice.
Note: If you don’t enter a command within 60 seconds of entering your passcode, your fax will cut off remote operation automatically.
Also, the fax will cease remote operation if someone picks up either the fax’s handset or a connected second telephone’s handset, or otherwise interferes with the connection (such as by activating a speakerphone or on- hook dialing speaker).
Selecting answering machine mode remotely
What happens if you’re miles away from your fax and you forgot to set it to answering machine mode? No need to worry: you can instruct your fax to answer subsequent calls automatically by just calling your fax and letting it ring more than 20 times. The fax will change to answer subsequent calls automatically. Note: You must record OGM1 (see page 4.3), and set the reception mode to “Tel
Ready” (see page 1.18).
Disabling remote selection of answering machine mode
If, for some reason, you wish to make the fax unable to switch back to answering machine mode as described above:
1.Press program, 9, mode/enter, 5.
Set Remote TAD
Note: “TAD” means Telephone Answering Device.
2.Press mode/enter.
Remote TAD ON
This is the factory setting. To leave the fax able to switch back to answering machine mode when you let the unit ring more than 20 times, press stop to cancel the operation. Otherwise, go to step 3.
3.Press program.
Remote TAD OFF
4. Press mode/enter to save the setting and return to standby.
Remote Access to Voice Mail Box System
In addition to letting you call in for usual remote access to the answering machine, your fax also provides remote access to its voice mail box system. And, you’ll be glad to know, the appropriate commands are identical to those for the incoming message section. Another similarity is that you can perform multiple commands on the same phone call. The only difference is in how you first gain remote access.

Note: As a security measure, your fax’s speaker is silent during any remote access operations; the only fax audio output during remote access is over the phone line to you. This assures that no one near the fax can listen in while you’re operating remotely.
Note: Once you have gained remote access to your fax, you may perform more than one remote operation on the same call. You needn’t hang up and call back just to perform each new remote operation.
