Voice Activated Commands
When a touch tone telephone is not avail- able, you can still call the system to listen to your messages. Use your voice to enter the Remote Access Code, to repeat the messages, and to delete messages.
Speak in response to the prompts presented by the system as described below. You must speak quickly and loudly in order for the system to detect your voice.
The system does not recognize the actual words you are saying; it responds to any sufficiently intense auditory signal. For example, you could say any phrase that is easy for you to remember, instead of say- ing "Enter Code."
You can hang up at any time during the call. The system saves your messages, unless you respond to the "Delete all mes- sages?" prompt.
1 Dial your telephone number, listen for the announcement, and then 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
2 After about 10 seconds, the system prompts "Enter remote access code." Immediately respond by saying "Enter code."
3You then hear, "First digit," followed by "Enter 4," "Enter 5," "Enter six," and so forth. When you hear the first digit of the Remote Access Code, immediately respond by saying "Enter code."
For example, if your Remote Access Code is 543, wait to hear "Enter five," then say "Enter code."
4You then hear "Second digit," followed by "Enter zero," "Enter one," Enter two," and so forth. When you hear the second digit of the Remote Access Code, say "Enter code."
5You then hear "Third digit," followed by "Enter zero," "Enter one," Enter two," and so forth. When you hear the third digit of the Remote Access Code, say "Enter code."
6If you enter the code correctly, the system announces how many messages have been received for each mailbox, and begins to play all the messages.
If no messages have been received, the system disconnects the call.
7At the end of each messages, the system prompts "Repeat message?" To hear the message again, say "Repeat message." If you remain silent, the system plays the next message. You can repeat each message once.
8After the last message plays, the system announces "End of messages" followed by the prompt "Replay messages?"
To replay all the messages, say "Replay messages." If you remain silent, the system prompts "Delete all messages?"
9To delete all the messages you just heard, say "Delete messages." The system then repeats the "Delete all messages?" prompt to confirm your choice. To confirm the delete, say "Delete messages." The system announces "Messages deleted." If you remain silent after the "Delete all messages?" prompt, the messages are not deleted.
If you do not enter
the correct Remote Access Code.
If you enter an incorrect Remote Access Code, the system beeps five times and be- gins the sequence of prompts again. If you enter the wrong code on the second try, the system disconnects the call.
If you do not respond to the correct digit while entering the Remote Access Code (or if the system fails to detect your response), you can remain silent until after you hear the "Enter nine" prompt. The system beeps five times and begins the sequence of prompts again. If you do not respond cor- rectly during the second sequence of prompts, the system disconnects the call.
