Priority Calling
If you do not want to be disturbed, your system will answer the phone for you. However, if there is a
particular call that you do want to receive, inform the caller of Priority Calling.
When the caller enters the Priority Calling Code from a touch tone telephone, the handset beeps to alert you
to a priority call.
The Priority Calling Code is set at 30 and cannot be changed.
To use Priority Calling,
a caller should:
1.
Dial your telephone number.
2.
When the announcement begins to play, press and release 3 0.
3.
The system will beep three times, then pause. This pattern is repeated until the telephone is picked up.
The beeps are audible to the caller as well as in the home.
If the telephone is not answered after 30 seconds, the caller will hear two beeps, indicating that the system is
ready for the next remote command. The caller can then press and release *, and leave a message after the
beep.
Answering System Operation: Away from the Base
Like many other answering systems available, the Cordless Answering System 5635 allows you to retrieve
messages and operate other functions even when you are away from your home or office. Unlike most other
answering systems, however, the 5635 has the advantage of cordless phone technology. This means that
you can access your answering machine not only when you are away from your home or office, but also
when you are using the cordless handset anywhere in or around your home or office (as long as you are
within range of the base).
In addition, the 5635 has been designed to make access to the answering system’s features as easy as
possible. Whether you are using the cordless handset or calling from a touch tone phone outside your
home, you press the same buttons in the same order on either phone. The only difference between using the
cordless handset and another touch tone phone is making the initial contact with the base answering system.
Once you’ve established contact with the answering system, you can perform a series of operations.
Establishing a Connection With the Answering System From the Cordless Handset
Press

messages you have (for example: “You have three messages in Mailbox 1 and two messages in Mailbox
2”), and then beep twice to indicate that it is ready to accept a command. Select a mailbox by pressing 1 or
