Remote Retrieval

UsingYour Remote Access Code

To receive faxes at your location, you must call from a fax machine using touch tone. For convenience, you can retrieve faxes 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.

1Dial your fax number from a touch tone phone.

2When your fax machine answers and beeps, immediately enter your Remote Access Code (The factory setting is 159).

We recommed that for security purposes you do not use the factory setting and that you have your own choice of code to keep your faxes secure.

3The fax machine signals the kinds of messages received:

1 long beep––Fax message(s) No long beep––No messages

4The fax machine 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 your machine remotely by phoning it and letting it ring for about 100 seconds. Your fax machine will answer the phone after about 100 seconds of ringing, and you then have 30 seconds to enter your Remote Access Code.

Remote Commands

Follow the commands below to access features remotely. When you call the fax machine and enter your Remote Access Code (The factory setting is 159), the system will signal you with two short beeps to enter a remote control command.
