lowing:

not answer calls.

• Record a new outgoing message.
• Record a memo.
• Erase messages.
Note: You cannot remotely operate the an-
swering system using its handset or another
telephone on the same line as the answering
system.
Setting the PIN
The answering system’s two-digit remote op-
eration PIN (personal identification number)
prevents unauthorized remote access to
your messages. The PIN is preset to 80. Fol-
low these steps to change the PIN to any
number from 00 to 99.
Note: If you press SPEAKER or PLAY/STOP
while changing the PIN, or wait more than 2
minutes between key presses, the answering
system exits the PIN setting process. Start
again at Step 1.
1. Hold down PIN until the answering sys-
tem beeps and 00 appears in the mes-
sage counter window.
2. Press SKIP to set the first digit of the PIN
higher or REPEAT to set it lower. Then
press PIN .
3. Press SKIP or REPEAT to set the second
digit of the PIN, then press PIN . The
answering system announces the new
PIN.
To check your PIN at any time, press PIN .
The PIN appears in the message counter
window, and the answering system announc-
es it.
Using the Toll-Saver
If RING TIME is set to TS (toll-saver), (see
“Setting the Number of Rings” on Page 12),
the answering system answers after three
rings if you have new messages (ones you
have not listened to). If there are no new
messages, the answering system answers
after five rings. This gives you time to hang
up before the answering system answers so
