ANSWERING SYSTEM OPERATION
At Cordless Handset or Touch Tone Phone

Voice Help Menu

The Voice Help Menu allows you to use the answering system from your
cordless handset or from a remote touch tone telephone, even if you do
not know or remember the various command codes. Once you have
connected with the answering system, press 5. The system announces a
list of operations and the buttons you need to press. At the end of the list,
the system beeps twice to indicate it is ready to accept a command. You
can access the Voice Help Menu any time after the system has given you
the two-beep signal that it is ready to accept a command.
