REMOTE OPERATION OF ANSWERING SYSTEM

Remote operation allows you to control the functions of the Answering System when you are away from the Base, and call from an outside telephone line. The Answering System cannot be accessed from another telephone on the same line. You can access many of the Answering System functons from a remote location, such as listening to messages, changing recorded announcements, and recording memos.

Remote operation can only be accessed from a touch tone telephone. If the remote phone is set to pulse dialing, switch it tone. If tone dialing is not available, you will not be able to access the Answering System.

Note: All function codes should be entered within 2 seconds in order to activate Remote

Operation.

To Activate Remote Operation From a Different Telephone Line

1.If the Answering System is OFF, you can dial your telephone number and wait for the Answering System to answer your call after 10 rings. An announcement, "Please enter your security code" is given, and you enter your security code to use remote operation.

2.If the Answering System is ON, it will answer your call and begin playing the currently selected announcement (as with any incoming call).

3.Enter " # " followed by your 2 digit security code during the announcement. The default security code is 19.

4.Once the security code is received, a double confirmation beep will be given, and you are in Remote Operation mode. You can then control the Answering Machine functions using the telephone keypad.

5.The user can also enter the Remote Operation mode during message recording. The procedure is the same as step 3. The recording will be stopped after entering the valid

security code "#xx " and the incomplete message will be deleted. If " * 0" is entered, the Answering System will release the line, but the recorded message will still be retained.

6.If the user enters a wrong security code, the system will release the line.

Playing Messages Remotely

1.Press " #1 ", " #2 " or " #3 " on the touch tone keypad to play the messages in the corresponding mailbox.

2.The system will announce "Mailbox X. You have XX new messages and XX old messages" and the system will playback the new messages only. If there are no new messages, the system will announce "Mailbox X. You have XX old messages. On the other hand, in the absence of old messages, the system will announce only the number of new messages.

Repeat Messages During Playback

1.Press "#4" once during message playback to repeat the current message.

2.Press "#4" twice within 2 seconds to skip to the previous message.
