Basic Instructions
Setting up the answering machine
1. Set the number of rings on the telephone answering machine to 1-4
2. Record your greeting message referring to the example below.
“This is (your name, business and/or telephone number). We are unable to answer right now. To leave a
message, speak after the long beep. To send a fax, press your asterisk button twice (remote fax
activation code) and start transmission. Thank you.”
—Do not pause more than 4 seconds in the message.
—Record your message for 8-16 seconds. We recommend you keep it around 10 seconds in length.
3. If your external telephone answering machine is equipped with a remote operation feature, you must set
the same remote access code (remote TAM activation ID) as stored on the telephone answering
machine in the unit’s memory. See below.
Setting the remote TAM activation ID
Your code can be from 1 to 5 digits long. The numbers 0 through 9 and characters # and ^ may be used.
Important:
• Note that the code should be different from the remote fax activation code (see page 38) and the junk mail
prohibitor ID (see page 39).
