Note
If ECONOMY is selected, the ring delay depends on the answering machine’s condition.
• If there are new messages in the answering machine, it will pick up the line after 2 rings.
• If there are no new messages in the answering machine, it will pick up the line after 6 rings.
• Hence, if you want to check if you have any messages without incurring call charges, you can hang up the call after the 3rd ring.
8.6.2 Remote Access
You can check the messages on your answering machine by calling in from an outside line and entering the remote access code*, you will be able to obtain the messages on your answering machine. The keypad on the phone you use to dial in acts like the functions on your answering machine.
Note
This feature is deactivated by default.
*The remote access code (which is the same as your PIN code) prevents any unauthorised remote access of your answering machine.
