Remote Retrieval

You can call your machine from any fax machine using touch tone and use a Remote Retrieval Access Code and other button presses to retrieve fax messages. Cut out the Remote Retrieval Access Card on the last page and keep it in your wallet as an aid.

Using Remote Retrieval Access Code

1Dial your fax number from a fax machine using touch tone. (See Changing Remote Retrieval Access Code on this page.)

2When your machine answers and beeps, immediately enter your Remote Retrieval Access Code (1 5 9 ).

3Your machine signals the kinds of messages received:

1 long beep — Fax message(s) No long beeps — No messages

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

5Press 9 0 to reset your machine when you’re finished.

6Hang up.

If your machine is set to MANUAL mode, you can access your machine by waiting about 2 minutes, and then entering the Remote Retrieval Access Code within 30 seconds.
