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

USING THE TOLL-SAVER

Ifis set to TS (toll-saver) (see “Setting the Number of Rings” on Page 14), the answering system answers after three rings if you have new messages (ones you have not listened to). If there are no new messages, the answering system answers after five rings. This gives you time to hang up before the answering 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 key presses, the answering system sounds a long beep and hangs up.

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

If the answering 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 answering system sounds a series of beeps), press #, then enter your PIN within 2 seconds.

If the PIN is correct, the answering sys- tem announces the day and time, then announces the number of new and old messages. The answering system plays all new messages, then beeps about every two seconds to let you know it is ready to accept remote commands.

Notes:

If the answering system does not respond, try entering your PIN again. If you enter an incorrect PIN three times, the answering system beeps and hangs up.

When the answering system is in remote operation, it stops all answer-

ing functions and the display on the base shows h9. The answering sys- tem resumes answering functions when it is no longer in remote com- mand if you have not turned it off.

The remote playback of incoming messages is limited to 4 minutes. If you have more messages after 4 min- utes have passed, you must press #2 again to listen to the rest of the mes- sages.

When using remote operation, you can only delete the current message during playback. You cannot delete all the messages stored at one time.

The maximum length of a memo recorded by remote operation is 4 minutes.
