Remote control of answering machines
With the remote control option, you can operate your answering machine, e.g. listen to
and delete messages
◆ from a registered handset, a connected cord telephone or
◆ from external telephones and handsets.
Apart from the first step, the procedure is the same for both kinds of remote control.
The following functions are available when using remote control:
◆ Activating/deactivating the answering machine
◆ Messages and memos
– Play
– Skip
– Delete
◆ Announcement
– Record
– Play
– Select
◆ Recording internal memos
◆ Help
Precondition:
◆ For external operation, you must change the answering machine PIN for your
own security (factory setting: 0000).
◆ In order to be able to use the full range of functions of this mode, you must enable
"Remote control" and "Remote delete" on the base (see handset operating instruc-
tions).
Starting remote control
Operating the answering machine while you are away from home
For remote control you need a telephone that transmits DTMF tones (tone dialling). It is
important to enter the AM PIN immediately while the announcement is being played. In
addition Remote control and, if required, Remote delete must be activated.
Operating the answering machine from the handset (internal)
There is a voice-controlled help for the two-key functions;
~ Dial your own telephone number.
~ When the announcement starts, enter the AM PIN at
once.
