Operation details
You can choose Off after you have retrieved or erased all your
messages.
One long beep means the change is accepted. If you hear three
short beeps, you cannot make the change because the
conditions have not been met (for example, registering a fax
forwarding number). You can register your fax forwarding
number by entering 4. (See Changing the Fax Forwarding
number uu page 19.) Once you have registered the number,
fax forwarding will work.
Enter the number of a remote fax machine to receive stored fax
messages. (See Retrieving fax messages uu page 19.)
If you hear one long beep, fax messages have been erased
from the memory.
You can check whether your machine has received any faxes.
If yes, you will hear one long beep. If no, you will hear three
short beeps.
If you hear one long beep, your change has been accepted.
Press 9 0 to exit remote retrieval. Wait for the long beep, then
replace the handset.
