Remote access
Your phone lets you check your messages,
or otherwise operate your answering
machine, by calling the answering
machine when you are away from home
and then dialling a 4-digit remote access
PIN from a tone-dialling phone. The
4-digit remote access PIN code is used to
prevent other people from unauthorised
access of your answering machine.
Make sure that Remote Access is turned on
(see Turn on/off remote access section)
and then you can ring your phone from
another tone-dialling phone to switch
the answering machine on or off, and/or
listen to your messages remotely.
Access your answering machine
remotely:
1. Place a call from a tone-dialling phone
to your phone.
2. When the answering machine
answers the call and starts playing
the outgoing message, press the
key. The outgoing message will stop
playing.
3. Enter the 4-digit Remote Access PIN
(default PIN is 0000). You will hear a
single confirmation beep if the PIN is
accepted, and you then need to press
5 to start playing any messages.
NOTES
• The * must be entered while the
outgoing message is still playing, and
the 4-digit PIN should follow without
any delays.
• If the 4-digit Remote Access PIN is
entered incorrectly you will hear three
error beeps, and you can try again, but
if it happens three times consecutively,
the line will be released automatically.
