Remote operation allows you to control
the functions of the Answering System
when you are away from the Base,
and call from an outside telephone
line. The Answering System cannot be
accessed from another telephone on
the same line. You can access many
of the Answering System functons
from a remote location, such as
listening to messages, changing
recorded announcements, and
recording memos.
Remote operation can only be accessed
from a touch tone telephone. If the
remote phone is set to pulse dialing,
switch it tone. If tone dialing is not
available, you will not be able to access
the Answering System.
Note: All function codes should be
entered within 2 seconds in order to
activate Remote Operation.
To Activate Remote Operation
From a Different Telephone Line
1. If the Answering System is OFF,
you can dial your telephone number
and wait for the Answering System
to answer your call after 10 rings.
An announcement, "Please enter
your security code" is given, and
you enter your security code to use
remote operation.
2. If the Answering System is ON,
it will answer your call and begin
playing the currently selected
announcement (as with any
incoming call).
3. Enter # followed by your 2 digit
security code during the
announcement. The default
security code is 19.
4. Once the security code is received,
a double confirmation beep will be
given, and you are in Remote
Operation mode. You can then
control the Answering Machine
functions using the telephone
keypad.
5. The user can also enter the
Remote Operation mode during
message recording. The procedure
is the same as step 3. The
recording will be stopped after
entering the valid security code
"
s
#xx " and the incomplete
message will be deleted. If " 0
s
"
is entered, the Answering System
will release the line, but the
recorded message will still be
retained.
6. If the user enters a wrong security
code, the system will release the
line.
Playing Messages Remotely
1. Press "
#1
", "
#2
" or "
#3
" on the
touch tone keypad to play the
messages in the corresponding
mailbox.
2. The system will announce "Mailbox
X. You have XX new messages
and XX old messages" and the
system will playback the new
message only. If there are no new
messages, the system will
announce "Mailbox X. You have
XX old messages. On the other
hand, in the absence of old
messages, the system will
announce only the number of new
messages.
