Using Remote Commands
Follow these steps to operate the answering
system from a remote location.
Note: If you wait more than 15 seconds be-
tween keypresses, the answering system
sounds a long beep and hangs up.
1. Dial your phone number and wait for the
answering system to answer.
If the answering system is not set to
answer calls, it will answer after about
10 rings and sound a series of beeps.
2. When the outgoing message begins (or
the answering system sounds a series
of beeps), press
# , then enter your PIN
within 2 seconds.
If the PIN is correct, the answering sys-
tem announces the day and time, then
announces the number of new and old
messages. The answering system plays
all new messages, then beeps about
every two seconds to let you know it is
ready to accept remote commands.
Notes:
• If the answering system does not
respond, try entering your PIN again. If
you enter an incorrect PIN three times,
the answering system beeps and hangs
up.
• When the answering system is in remote
operation, it stops all answering func-
tions and the display on the base shows
rC . The answering system resumes
answering functions when it is no longer
in remote command if you have not
turned it off.
• The remote playback of incoming mes-
sages is limited to 4 minutes. If you have
more messages after 4 minutes have
passed, you must press # 2 again to lis-
ten to the rest of the messages.
• When using remote operation, you can
only delete the current message during
playback. You cannot delete all the mes-
sages stored at one time.
• The maximum length of a memo
recorded by remote operation is 4 min-
utes.
3. To use a remote command, press # and
(within 2 seconds) the number for the
command you want.
Note: The remote operation stops when
someone picks up the handset or any phone
on the same phone line.
