VOICE-ACTIVATED COMMANDS
When a touch tone telephone is not avail-
able, you can still call your system to
listen to your messages. You use your
voice to enter the Remote Access Code, to
repeat messages, and to delete messages.
Speak in response to the prompts presented
by the system as described below. You
must speak quickly and loudly in order for
the system to detect your voice.
The system does not recognize the actual
words you are saying; it responds to any
sufficiently intense auditory signal. For
example, instead of “Enter code,” you can
substitute any phrase or word that is easy
for you to remember.
1 Dial your telephone number, listen for
the announcement, and then remain
silent after the beep.
NOTE: If the system answers after 10
rings (because it is off or the memory is
full), remain silent after the two-beep
signal.
2 After about ten seconds, the system
prompts “Enter remote access code.”
Immediately respond by saying “Enter
code.”
3 You then hear “First digit,” followed by
“Enter zero,” “Enter four,” “Enter five,”
and so forth. When you hear the first
digit of the Remote Access Code,
immediately respond by saying “Enter
code.”
For example, if your Remote Access
Code is 53, wait to hear “Enter five,”
then say “Enter code.”
4 You then hear “Second digit,” followed
by “Enter zero,” “Enter one,” “Enter
two,” and so forth. When you hear the
second digit of the Remote Access Code,
say “Enter code.”
5 If you enter the code correctly, the
system announces how many messages
have been received, and begins playing
all messages recorded on both lines.
If no messages have been received, the
system disconnects the call.
6 At the end of each message, the system
prompts “Repeat message?” To hear the
message again, say “Repeat message.”
If you remain silent, the system plays
the next message. You can repeat each
message once.
ANSWERING SYSTEM OPERATION
Away From Home
7 After the last message plays, the system
announces “End of messages” followed
by the prompt “Replay messages?”
To replay all of the messages, say
“Replay messages.” If you remain
silent, the system prompts “Delete all
messages?”
8 To delete all of the messages, say “Delete
messages.” The system then repeats the
“Delete all messages?” prompt to
confirm your choice.
To confirm the delete, say “Delete
messages.” The system announces
“Messages deleted” and disconnects the
call.
If you remain silent after the “Delete all
messages?” prompt, the system
disconnects the call and the messages are
not deleted.
If you do not enter the correct
Remote Access Code
If you enter an incorrect Remote Access
Code, the system beeps five times and be-
gins the sequence of prompts again. If you
enter the wrong code on the second try, the
system disconnects the call.
If you do not respond to the correct digit
while entering the Remote Access Code (or
if the system fails to detect your response),
you can remain silent after you hear the
“Enter nine” prompt. The system beeps
five times and begins the sequence of
prompts again. If you do not respond cor-
rectly during the second sequence of
prompts, the system disconnects the call.
