my unit?

is up to 30 seconds.

remotely from a touch tone telephone,
but my unit will not play back my
messages. Why?

be a standard touch tone line. Try calling
your unit from a different location (e.g., a
pay telephone).

(T) to access my unit remotely?
A. No, but you must call from a touch
tone telephone system to retrieve your

check my messages. What will happen
if I hang up before all of my messages
are played back?

reset to answer incoming calls.
Q. What is the range of my remote
feature?
A. Your remote will work from any
touch tone telephone in the world that is
compatible to the U.S.A. specifications,
does not have any unusual or loud
background noise, and is able to produce
a tone of at least 2 seconds when you
enter your security code.
