VOICE ACTIVATED COMMANDS

When a touch tone telephone is not avail- able, you can still call your system to listen to your messages. Use your voice to enter the Remote Access Code, to repeat a message, and to delete messages.

Speak quickly and loudly in response to the prompts presented by the system as described below. The system does not recognize the actual words you are saying; you could say any phrase that is easy for you to remember, instead of saying "Enter code," as long as you speak loudly.

You can hang up any time during the call. The system saves your messages, unless you respond to the "Delete all messages?" prompt.

1 Dial your telephone number, listen to the announcement, and remain silent after the beep. If the system answers after 10 rings (because it is off or the memory is full ) remain silent after the two-beep signal.

2 After 10 seconds the system prompts “Enter remote access code.” Immedi- ately respond “Enter code.”

3 You hear “First digit,” followed by “Enter four,” “Enter five,” “Enter six,” and so on. When you hear the first digit of the Remote Access Code, immedi- ately respond by saying “Enter code.”

4 For each digit in the Remote Access Code, follow the procedure in Step 3.

5 If you enter the code correctly, the system announces the number of messages waiting, and begins to play them. If there are no messages, the system disconnects the call.

6To repeat a message, respond by saying “Repeat message.”

7To replay all messages, respond by saying “Replay messages.”

8To delete messages, remain silent until the system prompts “Delete all messages?” Respond by saying “Delete messages.”

9The system repeats Step 8 to verify deletion of messages. If you remain

silent, messages are not deleted.

The system announces “The system will now hang up,” and disconnects.
