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 change because something
has not been set up (for example, a Fax Forwarding has not
been registered). You can register your Fax Forwarding
number by entering 4. (See Changing your Fax Forwarding
number on page 57.) 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 on page 57.)
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.
Pressing 9 0 allows you to exit remote retrieval. Wait for the
long beep, then replace the handset.
