Using Remote Commands

Follow these steps to operate the answering system from a remote location.

Note: If you wait more than 15 seconds be- tween keypresses, the answering system sounds a long beep and hangs up.

1.Dial your phone number and wait for the answering system to answer.

If the answering system is not set to answer calls, it will answer after about 10 rings and sound a series of beeps.

2.When the outgoing message begins (or the answering system sounds a series of beeps), press #, then enter your PIN within 2 seconds.

If the PIN is correct, the answering sys- tem announces the day and time, then announces the number of new and old messages. The answering system plays all new messages, then beeps about every two seconds to let you know it is ready to accept remote commands.

Notes:

If the answering system does not respond, try entering your PIN again. If you enter an incorrect PIN three times, the answering system beeps and hangs up.

When the answering system is in remote operation, it stops all answering func- tions and the display on the base shows rC. The answering system resumes answering functions when it is no longer in remote command if you have not turned it off.

The remote playback of incoming mes- sages is limited to 4 minutes. If you have more messages after 4 minutes have passed, you must press # 2 again to lis- ten to the rest of the messages.

When using remote operation, you can only delete the current message during playback. You cannot delete all the mes- sages stored at one time.

The maximum length of a memo recorded by remote operation is 4 min- utes.
