Sprint Nextel SP-515 owner manual Remote Operation, Using the TOLL-SAVER, Using Remote Commands

Remote Operation

n Remote Operation

While you are away from your home or office, you can use a touch-tone phone or a pulse (rotary) phone with a pocket tone dialer to enter your remote operation security code and do any of the following:

²set the TAD to answer calls

²listen to your messages

²record a new announcement

²record a memo

²delete messages

Note: You cannot remotely operate the TAD from another phone on the same line as your SP-515.

You can also use your SP-515 handset to operate many of the TAD features.

USING THE TOLL-SAVER

If the ring select switch is set to SA (toll-saver) (see “Setting the Number of Rings” on Page 9), the TAD an- swers after two rings if you have new messages. If there are no new messages, the TAD waits for four rings before it answers. This gives you time to hang up before the TAD answers so you can avoid unnecessary long- distance charges.

USING REMOTE COMMANDS

Whether you are using the handset or calling from a touch-tone phone, you press the same buttons to operate the TAD. The only difference is the way you connect with the answering system.

From a remote touch-tone phone:

Dial your phone number. When the TAD answers, enter your remote access code. The TAD announces the number of messages and beeps twice to confirm that you entered the correct code.

Notes:

²If you do not enter each digit of the remote access code within 8 seconds, the TAD hangs up.

²If the TAD is not set to answer calls or the memory is full, it will answer after 10 rings.

From the handset:

Press ANS SYS. The ANS SYS indicator lights. The TAD announces the number of messages and beeps twice.

After connecting with the TAD, enter a remote command (see “Remote Commands” on Page 21), or press 5 to hear voice prompts, or wait until the TAD begins playing all messages (after about 4 seconds).

When you finish, simply hang up (remote phone) or press ANS SYS (SP-515’s handset).
