THE ANSWERING MACHINE

Using the Answering Machine from a Remote Phone

You donÕt need to be at the machineÕs control panel to operate the answering machine. If you have access to a Touch-Tone phone, you can operate many features, such as message playback, no matter where you are.

To operate your machine from a remote phone, you need to enter a five-character password. The remote password is preset at the factory to Ô#139#Õ but you can change the password to any number you want. For more information, see page 7.10.

When the specified

operation is complete, you

 

 

 

 

 

hear a short beep.

 

 

 

ÃIf the machine doesnÕt immediately respond to a remote command, try to enter the code again. If the machine still has difficulty recognizing the command, try to call from another phone.

The machine may not respond if the tones produced by the remote telephone are too short in duration. Press and hold each key for at least a second. Some phones only emit a short tone with each key press. Try to call from a phone that emits a tone for as long as you push a key.

ÃAfter you hear the confirmation tone, you have 10 seconds to enter a command. For more information about remote commands, see page 5.7.
