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, the change was not accepted because
something has not been set up (for example, a Fax
Forwarding number has not been registered). You can
register your Fax Forwarding number by entering 4. (See
Changing your Fax Forwarding number on page 64.) 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 64.)
If you hear one long beep, fax messages have been erased
from the memory.
You can check whether your machine has received any
faxes or voice messages. 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.
