Accessing the Answering System from a
Touch Tone Phone
1 Dial your phone number.
*
NOTE: Remember that if you set the RING SELECT feature to TOLL
SAVER, the system will answer after two rings if there are new messages
and after four rings if there are no new messages. If you hear the third ring
you can hang up and save the cost of the call.
2 When the answering system answers and the outgoing announcement
begins to play, enter your three-digit remote access code.
The system will announce the number of messages you have (for example:
“You have three messages.”), and then beep twice to indicate that it is ready
to accept a command.
If it does not receive any instructions in a few seconds, the system will auto-
matically play all of your messages. You can allow the system to play your
messages, or you can use the number buttons on the phone to direct the system
to perform any of the operations shown below:
Voice Help Menu
The Voice Help Menu allows you to use the answering system from your cord-
less handset or from a remote touch tone telephone even if you do not know or
remember the various command codes. Once you have established a connection
with the answering system (see “Accessing the Answering System from a
Touch Tone Phone”), the Voice Help Menu will guide you through all the other
codes you will need for full access.
You can access the Voice Help Menu any time after the system has given you
the two-beep signal to indicate that it is ready to accept a command.
Using the Voice Help Menu:
Press . The system will announce a list of operations and the buttons you
need to press to activate them.
At the end of the menu list, the system will beep twice to indicate that it is
ready to accept a command. If you have heard the number for the function you
want, simply press that number button.
This cordless answering system allows you to retrieve messages and operate
other functions even when you are away from your home or office. In addition,
this answering system has the advantage of allowing you to 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).
This system 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 have established contact with the answering system, you can perform
a series of operations.
Accessing the Answering System From the
Cordless Handset
If your Ringer Switch is set to ON, the ANS SYS light on the handset will
flash on and off to indicate you have new messages. To access the system,
press on the handset and wait for the ANS SYS light to go on. The
system will announce the number of messages you have (for example: “You
have three messages.”) and then beep twice to indicate that it is ready to
accept a command.
If it does not receive any instructions in a few seconds, the system will
automatically play all of your messages. You can allow the system to play
your messages, or you can use the number buttons on the handset to direct the
system to perform other operations.
If you have no messages and the system receives no command within a
few seconds after announcing “You have no messages,” you will hear a
list of possible commands from the built-in Voice Help menu. See “Voice
Help Menu.”
To end the connection from the cordless handset, press , or return the
handset to the base.
