USING THE TOLL-SAVER
If RING TIME is set to TS (toll-saver) (see
“Setting the Number of Rings” on Page 14),
the answering system answers after three
rings if you have new messages (ones you
have not listened to). If there are no new
messages, the answering system answers
after five rings. This gives you time to hang
up before the answering system answers so
you can avoid unnecessary long-distance
charges.
USING REMOTE
COMMANDS
Follow these steps to operate the answering
system from a remote location.
Note: If you wait more than 15 seconds be-
tween key presses, the answering system
sounds a long beep and hangs up.
1. Dial your phone number and wait for the
answering system to answer.
If the answering system is not set to
answer calls, it will answer after about
10 rings and sound a series of beeps.
2. When the outgoing message begins (or
the answering system sounds a series
of beeps), press
# , then enter your PIN
within 2 seconds.
If the PIN is correct, the answering sys-
tem announces the day and time, then
announces the number of new and old
messages. The answering system plays
all new messages, then beeps about
every two seconds to let you know it is
ready to accept remote commands.
Notes:
• If the answering system does not
respond, try entering your PIN again.
If you enter an incorrect PIN three
times, the answering system beeps
and hangs up.
• When the answering system is in
remote operation, it stops all answer-
ing functions and the display on the
base shows
h9 h9 h9 h9
. The answering sys-
tem resumes answering functions
when it is no longer in remote com-
mand if you have not turned it off.
• The remote playback of incoming
messages is limited to 4 minutes. If
you have more messages after 4 min-
utes have passed, you must press
# 2
again to listen to the rest of the mes-
sages.
• When using remote operation, you
can only delete the current message
during playback. You cannot delete
all the messages stored at one time.
• The maximum length of a memo
recorded by remote operation is 4
minutes.
