Remote Access, Caller ID Errors, Using the Handset | GE 5983

Caller ID Errors

If there is an error in the transmission of information to your Caller ID phone, ERROR shows in the display.

If you have not subscribed to Caller ID service or it is not working, NO DATA shows in the display.

Remote Access

This section explains two types of remote access: using the cordless handset to access the answering system and accessing the answering system from another phone.

You may access the answering system on the base with the handset buttons.

You may also access your answering system from any touch-tone phone by entering a 3-digit security code after you hear the outgoing announcement. A voice menu system guides you through the steps.

Using the Handset

Press the flash/call waiting/answerer button to access the answering system.

After you access the answering system, use the marked handset keys just as if you were pressing the corresponding buttons on the base (see “Answering System Operation” for details on functions). To make it easy for you, the functions are listed on the handset above each number. For example, to play messages:

1.Press the flash/call waiting/answerer button.

2.Press the 2 key (play/stop) and mailbox number.

3.When you are finished listening to your messages, press

flash/call waiting/answerer again to quit, or you may listen to the voice menu at any time by pressing 7.

Answering System Indicator

The answering system is active by default. The display will show ANSWERER OFF when the answering system is turned off.

Memory Full

When the answering system’s memory is full, the system answers after 10 rings, beeps, and waits for you to enter the 3-digit security code. You have 10 seconds to enter the security code before the phone hangs up.
