NOTE:

If there are many old mes- sages in the mailbox, press- ing 3 twice to delete all old messages may take up to 20 seconds. You will hear one beep every one second to alert you that the answering system is deleting the mes- sages. During deletion, if the remote caller hangs up to end the remote access call, the answering system will stop deleting messages. In this case, only some of the old messages may be delet- ed.

If you pause for more than four seconds during remote access, you will hear a help menu listing all features and commands. If there is no command entered for anoth- er 20 seconds, the call will end automatically.
