ANSWERING SYSTEM OPERATION: Away from the Base
(Cordless Handset/Remote)
This cordless answering system allows you to retrieve messages and operate other functions even when you are away from your home or office. In addition, this answering system has the advantage of allowing you to access your answering machine not only when you are away from your home or office, but also when you are using the cordless handset anywhere in or around your home or office (as long as you are within range of the base).
This system has been designed to make access to the answering system’s features as easy as possible. Whether you are using the cordless handset or calling from a touch tone phone outside your home, you press the same buttons in the same order on either phone. The only difference between using the cordless handset and another touch tone phone is making the initial contact with the base answering system.
Once you have established contact with the answering system, you can perform a series of operations.
