Using the System While You're Away from Home

You can dial in to your answering system from any touch-tone phone. 

Before you can use this feature, you must program a security code.

Programming a Security Code 

With the phone in standby, open the menu; select 

Ans. Setup

, then select 

Security Code

. 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 phone number & wait until the system answers. (If the system 

is turned off, it answers after 10 rings & sounds a series of beeps.)

2.  During the greeting or beeps, press 

0

 and 

immediately

 enter your 

security code. If you enter it incorrectly 3 times, the system hangs up 

and returns to standby.

3.  The system announces the time, the number  

of messages in memory, and a help prompt. 

It beeps to let you know it's waiting for a 

command. 

4.  When you hear beeping, enter a 2-digit 

command from the chart. Enter both digits 

within 2 seconds or the entry times out.

 

#

If you don't press any keys for 15 seconds, 

the system hangs up and returns to 

standby.
