Using the System While You're Away from Home
You can also operate your answering system from any touch-tone
phone. Before you can use this feature, you have to program a
security code.
Programming a security code
1. With the phone in standby, open the menu from any station.
2. Select
Ans. Setup
, then select
Security Code
.
3. Use the number keypad to enter a two-digit security code (
01
to
99
). Press
MENU/SELECT
when you’re finished.
Remember to make a note of your new security code!
Dialing in to your system
1. Call your telephone number and wait for the system to answer.
If you have the
Ring Time
set to
Toll Saver
, the system answers
after 2 rings if you have new messages and 4 rings if you don’t.
You can hang up during the third or fourth ring.
If your answering system is off, it will answer after about ten
rings and sound a series of beeps instead of your greeting.
2. During the greeting (or beeps), press
0
and
immediately
enter
your security code. (You have 3 tries to enter your security code:
if you enter it wrong 3 times, the system hangs up and returns to
standby.)
3. The system announces the current time, the number of messages
stored in memory, and a help prompt. Then it starts beeping
intermittently to let you know it's waiting for your command.
4. When you hear the intermittent
beeping, enter a command from the
chart to the right.
If you don't press any keys for 15
seconds, the phone will hang up and
return to standby.
