REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION

While you are away from your home or office, you can use a touch-tone phone or a pulse phone with a pocket tone dialer to:

Set the answering system to answer calls

Play your messages

Erase your messages

REMOTE ANSWER-ON

You can use any remote phone to set the answering system to answer calls if:

The answering system has power.

The cassette is loaded.

The answering system is off.

To set the answering system to an- swer calls, dial your phone number and wait about 60 seconds until the answering system answers. Then hang up the phone.

Note: Be sure to turn on the system when you get home, to play back any recorded messages.

To play back your messages from a remote phone, follow these steps.

1.Dial your phone number.

If the answering system is set to TOLL SAVER, it answers on the second ring if there are mes- sages. If there are no messages, the answering system answers on the fourth ring.

2.When the outgoing message stops and a beep sounds, enter the remote operation security code within 5 seconds. Be sure each button press is at least 1/2 second long. The answering sys- tem sounds a tone while the tape rewinds. If no tone sounds, re- enter the code.

Note: If you do not enter the code within 5 seconds, the answering system hangs up.

The answering system plays back the incoming messages. At the end of all the messages, you hear various single beeps and tones, then the answering system sounds four short beeps.

Note: The answering system auto- matically saves your messages after remote playback.

REMOTE PLAYBACK

You must know your remote operation security code to play back your mes- sages from a remote phone. This code (a 3-digit number) is printed on the bottom of your answering system.

To replay the messages, wait about 8 seconds after the four short beeps. When you hear a single beep, enter the remote operation security code again.
