SETTING THE REMOTE OPERATION PIN

The answering system’s two-digit remote op- eration PIN (personal identification number) prevents unauthorized remote access to your messages. The PIN is preset to 80. Fol- low these steps to change the PIN to any number from 00 to 99.

Note: If you wait more than 2 minutes be- tween each keypress, the system exits the PIN setting process. Start again at Step 1.

1.Hold down PIN on the base until the answering system beeps and 00 appears in the message counter win- dow.

2.Press SKIP on the base to set the first digit of the PIN higher or REPEAT to set it lower. Then press PIN.

3.Press SKIP or REPEAT to set the second digit of the PIN, then press PIN. The sys- tem announces the new PIN.

To check your PIN at any time, press PIN. The PIN appears in the message counter window, and the answering system announc- es it.

Note: If you press SPEAKER or PLAY/STOP while changing the PIN, the system exits set- up. Begin again with Step 1.

REMOTE OPERATION

While you are away from your home or of- fice, you can use a touch-tone phone, or a pulse (rotary) phone with a pocket tone dialer (available through your local RadioShack store) to enter your PIN and do any of the fol- lowing:

•Set the answering system to answer or not answer calls.

•Listen to your messages.

•Record a new outgoing message.

•Record a memo.

•Erase messages.

Note: You cannot remotely operate the sys- tem using its handset or another telephone on the same line as the system.

USING THE TOLL-SAVER

If RING TIME is set to T/S (toll-saver), (see “Setting the Day/Time” on Page 12), the sys- tem answers after three rings if you have new messages (ones you have not listened to). If there are no new messages, the sys- tem answers after five rings. This gives you time to hang up before the system answers so you can avoid unnecessary long-distance charges.

USING REMOTE

COMMANDS

Follow these steps to operate the answering system from a remote location.

Note: If you wait more than 15 seconds be- tween each keypress, the system sounds a long beep and hangs up.

1.Dial your phone number and wait for the system to answer.

If the system is not set to answer calls, it will answer after about 10 rings and sound a series of beeps.

2.When the outgoing message begins (or the system sounds a series of beeps), press #, then enter your PIN within 2 seconds.
