To record a message remotely into your voice mail box:

1.Gain remote access to the voice mail box (see page 4.13).

To erase all messages in the currently active voice mail box (but no others):

2.Press 0 (zero) twice, followed by # once, for about a second each.

Ending remote voice mail box operation

To cease remote voice mail box operation, just hang up or press * key twice. Note: If you don’t enter a command within 60 seconds of entering your passcode,

your fax will cut off remote voice mail box operation automatically. Also, the fax will cease remote voice mail box operation if someone picks up either the fax’s handset or a connected second telephone’s handset, or otherwise interferes with the connection (such as by activating a speakerphone or on-hook dialing speaker).

Toll Saver

When the Answer lamp is lit, the number of times your fax will ring when called depends upon whether it is holding any voice messages. If there is neither an incoming message nor a memo stored, your fax will answer after three rings. But, if a memo or incoming message is stored on your answering machine, your fax will answer subsequent calls after one ring. In HongKong, answer after four rings on the former and after two rings on the latter.

(The presence of voice mail box messages makes no difference; the fax concerns itself here only with the memo and incoming messages.)

When you check your messages remotely, this Toll Saver feature helps you save on long-distance telephone charges. When you call from another telephone and hear your fax ring more than once, you know that there are no messages for you to hear and can hang up the telephone before the third ring. Most long-distance telephone services do not charge for calls unless the called party answers.

Again: when operating in answering machine mode, your fax will answer after one ring if there is a memo or incoming message on your answering machine -----

even if you’ve already played the stored recordings. (This is why, if you wish to take advantage of the Toll Saver feature, it’s a good idea to erase messages when you can.)

Note: When your fax is not in answering machine mode, how many times it rings when called is determined by a setting you make (see page 2.2).
