To set the remote operation ID
A 3-digit remote access code must be entered when
operating the answering machine remotely. This code
prevents unauthorized parties from listening to your
messages remotely. The default setting is “111”.
Important:
RTo prevent unauthorized access to this product,
we recommend that you regularly change the
remote code.

To change the ring count in TAM/FAX mode
You can change the number of times the unit rings “Ring
count” before the unit answers a call.
You can select 2 to 4 rings, or “Toll saver”.
The default setting is “2 rings”.
“Toll saver”: The unit answers after 2 or 3 rings when
new messages have been recorded, and after 4 or 5
rings when there are no new messages. If you call your
unit from a remote location to listen to new messages
(page 73), you will know that there are no new messages
when the unit rings for the 4th time. You can then hang
up without being charged for the call.

greeting-only message asking callers to call
again later (feature #302 on page 74).
