Establishing a Connection With the Answering System From a Touch Tone Phone

1.Dial your phone number.

NOTE: When the RING SELECT switch is set to TOLL SAVER, the system will answer after two rings if there are new messages and after four rings if there are no new messages. When you call, if you hear the third ring you’ll know that no one has left a message since the last time someone called to check on messages. Hang up before the fourth ring, and you’ll save the cost of the call.

2.When the answering system answers and the outgoing announcement begins to play, enter your access code, (it is not necessary to wait for the announcement to finish.)

The system will announce the number of messages you have (for example: “You have three messages in Mailbox 1 and 2 messages in Mailbox 2”), and then beep twice to indicate that it is ready to accept a command. Select a mailbox by pressing 1 or 2.

The Access Code

The preset code is 50. This code gives you access to your messages, memos and announcements when you call in from another location. You can use the preset code, or choose your own. If you change the code, be sure to write it down so you’ll be able to access your system when you are away from your home or office.

NOTE: The Access Code can ONLY be reviewed or changed from the cordless handset or from a touch tone phone. It cannot be reviewed or changed at the base unit.

Once you’ve established a connection with the answering system, you can review and change the access code from the cordless handset or from another touch tone phone away from your home or office.

You can work with the access code any time after the system has given you the two-beep signal to indicate that it is ready to accept a command.

Changing Your Access Code
