Remote Retrieval

You can call your machine from any touch tone phone (or remote Group 3 fax machine) and use a
Remote Access Code and other button presses in order to check the receiving status, retrieve fax
messages or change settings.
To receive faxes or the Memory Status List at your location, you must call from a fax machine using
touch tone. For convenience, you can retrieve faxes and the Status List from a touch tone phone by

machine at the hotel's Front Desk.
