Remote Retrieval

You can call your machine from any touch tone phone (or remote Group 3 fax machine) and use a Remote Access Code and other button presses in order to check the receiving status, retrieve fax messages or change settings.

To receive faxes or the Memory Status List at your location, you must call from a fax machine using touch tone. For convenience, you can retrieve faxes and the Status List from a touch tone phone by having them sent to a fax machine.

For example, if your hotel room does not have a fax machine, you can enter the number of the fax machine at the hotel’s Front Desk.

Setting the Remote Access Code

Enter your Remote Access Code when the fax machine picks up your call, so you can access features remotely. The default code is inactive code (--- ).

2When your fax machine answers and beeps, immediately enter your Remote Access Code (3 digits followed by ).

5Press 9 0 to reset the machine when you finish.

If your fax machine is set to MANUAL mode, you can access your machine remotely by phoning it and letting it ring for about 100 (50 in Australia) seconds. Your fax machine will answer the phone after 100 (50 in Australia) seconds of ringing, and you then have 30 seconds to enter your Remote Access Code.
