Accessing the Answering System
When the phone’s in standby, you can access the system from any handset using two different methods: Message Manager and Play Messages. Regardless of which method you use to get your messages, the following conditions apply:
♦Only 1 handset can access the system at a time.
♦If you do nothing for 30 seconds, the phone returns to standby.
♦During remote access, the phone beeps so you know it's waiting for the next command.
During message playback, press MENU/ SELECT to open the menu for playback control.
