REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION

While you are away from your home or office, you can use a touch-tone phone or a pulse phone with a pocket tone dialer to:

Play your messages

Erase your messages

Set the answering system to an- swer calls

REMOTE PLAYBACK

You must know your remote operation security code to play back your mes- sages from a remote phone. This code (a 3-digit number) is on the bot- tom of your answering system.

To play back your messages from a remote phone, follow these steps.

1.Dial your phone number.

If RING SELECT is set to TS, the answering system answers on the second ring if there are mes- sages. If there are no messages, the answering system answers on the fourth ring.

2.After the outgoing message stops and a beep sounds, enter the re- mote operation security code within 5 seconds. Be sure each button press is at least 1/2 second long. The answering system sounds a tone while the tape re- winds. If no tone sounds, re-enter the code.

Note: If you do not enter the code within 7 seconds, the answering sys- tem hangs up.

The answering system plays back the incoming messages. At the end of all the messages, the answering system sounds single beeps and tones then four short beeps.

Note: The answering system auto- matically saves your messages after remote playback.

To replay the messages, wait about 8 seconds after the four short beeps. When you hear a single beep, enter the remote operation security code again.

ERASING THE

MESSAGES

If you want to erase the messages af- ter playback, enter the remote opera- tion security code within 8 seconds after the four short beeps at the end of all the messages. After the answering system beeps, hang up the phone.

Note: After you erase messages by remote, you cannot recover them (even if you press SAVE as soon as you get back to your answering sys- tem).
