Answering machine 43
Handset access via menus
You can access the answering machine in the base station with the handset
using the appropriate menu options. You do not have to call in. While doing
so, recorded messages are played through the handset’s earpiece. They can be
played through the base station loudspeaker as well.
The appropriate menu options are described below.
Calling in remotely
When you are not at home, you can still control the answering machine. For
instance, you can switch it on or listen to the recorded messages. For these
purposes, the answering machine in the base station can also be accessed via
the external line. To do so, just dial your home telephone number when you
are not at home. If the call is not answered by a handset, it is picked up by the
answering machine.
Note If the answering machine is switched off and you want to switch it on, it
will take a while before it answers.
To access the answering machine remotely via the external line:
1. Dial your home telephone number using a touch tone phone and wait for a
connection.
2. Enter
and wait for the dial tone.
3. Enter the base station PIN code.
The answering machine is now in remote control mode. However, if you
enter an incorrect PIN code the answering machine immediately hangs up.
4. Follow the instructions given by the voice guide.
If you know the key strokes by heart, you can bypass the voice guide.
5. Finish the call when you are ready.
