Using the System While You’re Away from Home

You can also use your answering system from any touch-tone phone. Before you can use this feature, you must program a security code.

Programming a security code

1.With the phone in standby, open the menu from any handset.

2.Select Ans. Setup, then select Security Code.

3.Use the number keypad to enter a two-digit security code (01 to 99). Press Menu/select when you’re finished.

Remember to make a note of your new security code!

Dialing in to your system

1.Call your telephone number and wait for the system to answer.

If you have the Ring Time set to Toll Saver, the system answers after 2 rings if you have new messages and 4 rings if you don’t. You can hang up during the third or fourth ring.

If your answering system is off, it will answer after about ten rings and sound a series of beeps instead of your greeting.

2.During the greeting (or beeps), press 0 and immediately enter your security code. (If you enter it incorrectly 3 times, the system hangs up and returns to standby.)

3.The system announces the current time, the number of messages stored in memory, and a help prompt. Then it starts beeping intermittently to let you know it's waiting for your command.

4.When you hear the intermittent beeping, enter a command from the chart:
