tone dialer to:

REMOTE PLAYBACK
You must know your remote operation
security code to play back your mes-
sages from a remote phone. This
code (a 3-digit number) is on the bot-
tom of your answering system.
To play back your messages from a
remote phone, follow these steps.
1. Dial your phone number.
If
RING SELECT
is set to
TS
, the
answering system answers on the
second ring if there are mes-
sages. If there are no messages,
the answering system answers on
the fourth ring.
2. After the outgoing message stops
and a beep sounds, enter the re-
mote operation security code
within 5 seconds. Be sure each
button press is at least
1
/
2
second
long. The answering system
sounds a tone while the tape re-
winds. If no tone sounds, re-enter
the code.
Note:
If you do not enter the code
within 7 seconds, the answering sys-
tem hangs up.
The answering system plays back the
incoming messages. At the end of all
the messages, the answering system
sounds single beeps and tones then
four short beeps.
Note:
The answering system auto-
matically saves your messages after
remote playback.
To replay the messages, wait about 8
seconds after the four short beeps.
When you hear a single beep, enter
the remote operation security code
again.
ERASING THE
MESSAGES
If you want to erase the messages af-
ter playback, enter the remote opera-
tion security code within 8 seconds
after the four short beeps at the end of
all the messages. After the answering
system beeps, hang up the phone.
Note:
After you erase messages by
remote, you cannot recover them
(even if you press
SAVE
as soon as
you get back to your answering sys-
tem).
