VOICE ACTIVATED COMMANDS
When a touch tone telephone is not avail-
able, you can still call your system to
listen to your messages. Use your voice
to enter the Remote Access Code, to
repeat a message, and to delete messages.
Speak quickly and loudly in response to
the prompts presented by the system as
described below. The system does not
recognize the actual words you are saying;
you could say any phrase that is easy for
you to remember, instead of saying "Enter
code," as long as you speak loudly.
You can hang up any time during the call. The
system saves your messages, unless you
respond to the "Delete all messages?" prompt.
1 Dial your telephone number, listen to
the announcement, and remain silent
after the beep. 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 10 seconds the system prompts
“Enter remote access code.” Immedi-
ately respond “Enter code.”
3 You hear “First digit,” followed by
“Enter four,” “Enter five,” “Enter six,”
and so on. When you hear the first digit
of the Remote Access Code, immedi-
ately respond by saying “Enter code.”
4 For each digit in the Remote Access
Code, follow the procedure in Step 3.
5 If you enter the code correctly, the
system announces the number of
messages waiting, and begins to play
them. If there are no messages, the
system disconnects the call.
6 To repeat a message, respond by saying
“Repeat message.”
7 To replay all messages, respond by
saying “Replay messages.”
8 To delete messages, remain silent until
the system prompts “Delete all
messages?” Respond by saying “Delete
messages.”
9 The system repeats Step 8 to verify
deletion of messages. If you remain
silent, messages are not deleted.
The system announces “The system
will now hang up,” and disconnects.
