Saving Messages

The system saves your messages automatically if you do not delete them. After you play your messages, the
system beeps 5 times and the Message Window shows the total number of messages stored in memory.
NOTE: The system can save about 9.5 minutes of messages (up to a total of 50 messages). When
memory is full, you must delete some or all of the messages before any new messages can be recorded.
Deleting All Messages from Memory
To delete all messages, press and release PLAY and then press and release DELETE for each message as its
number appears in the display.
NOTE: To maintain maximum message storage space, use this method if you want to delete all
messages.

Deleting Selected Messages

To delete only a specific message, press and release DELETE while the message you want to delete is
being played. The system erases the message corresponding to the number shown in the Message Window,
beeps once, and continues with the next message.
To make sure you are deleting the right message, you can press REPEAT to repeat the message after
listening to it, then press DELETE while this message is playing.
After the system reaches the end of the last message, any messages that were not deleted are renumbered,
and the Message Window shows the total number of messages remaining in memory.

Recording a Memo

You can record a memo to be stored by the system as an incoming message. You can then play the memo at
home or from a remote telephone, like any other message. The memo can be up to 90 seconds long.

code can not be changed.
NOTE: To enter your Remote Access code and use other remote features, you must call from a touch
tone telephone.
Playing Messages

Dial your telephone number from a touch-tone telephone.
2.
When the system answers, enter your Remote Access code.
NOTE: To bypass the announcement, enter your Remote Access code as soon as the announcement
begins. If the announcement does not stop, enter the code again.
When the Remote Access code is entered correctly, the system presents a 2-beep signal. After the 2-beep
signal, you can:
Wait 4 seconds and the system will automatically begin playing all of your messages.
Press and release 7 to begin playing all of your messages.
