Remote Retrieval

This section is for FAX-737MC. (If you have FAX-717/727, please see chapter 10 for your remote fax options.)

You can call your machine from any touch tone phone (or remote Group 3 fax machine set for tone) and use a Remote Access Code and Remote Control Commands to retrieve voice (and fax) messages. You can also program and change some settings for your Message Centre.

Using the Remote Access Code

1Dial your machine phone number from a touch tone phone.

2When your machine answers and beeps, immediately enter your Remote Access Code.

3The machine signals the kinds of messages received:

1 long beep—Fax message(s)

2 long beeps—Voice message(s)

3 long beeps—Fax and Voice message(s) No beeps—no messages

4The machine then prompts you with two short beeps to enter a command. If you wait longer than 30 seconds to enter a command, the machine hangs up. If you enter an invalid command, the machine beeps three times.

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

6Hang up.

If your fax machine is set to MANUAL mode, you can access the Message Centre remotely by phoning your machine 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.
