Getting Your Messages

Accessing your system from a handset (remote operation)

You can access your system from a handset whenever the phone is in standby. Only one handset at a time can access the system through remote operation, and you can't use remote operation if the base is using the answering system.

To start remote operation, open the menu and select Retrieve

Msg. When the phone prompts you to select a line, press Line1 or Line2.

During remote operation, the handset beeps to let you know it's waiting for your next command. If you don't press any keys for 30 seconds, the phone returns to standby.

The icons on the handset's number keys and display show you which number key activates each answering system command; these commands correspond to the answering system keys on the base:
