greeting message or turn your answering machine on and off.

NOTES
•
To operate from a remote location, use any touch-tone telephone,
and follow these steps:
1. Call your telephone number and wait for the answering
machine to answer. If the answering machine is off, it will
answer after about ten rings and sounds a series of beeps.
2. During the greeting message (or a series of beeps when the
answering machine is off), press 0 and enter your security
code/PIN within two seconds (see "Setting a Security Code
or Personal Identification Number (PIN)" on page 77).
3. The answering machine announces the current time and the
number of messages stored in memory. You hear "To play
incoming messages, press zero-two. For help, press one-
zero" followed by a beep.
The answering machine will only play back
messages for four minutes and then it returns to
the command-waiting mode. To continue playing
your messages, press 0 then 2 again within 15
seconds.
If you enter an incorrect security code three
times, you will hear a beep and the answering
machine will return to standby.
