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, you cannot make the change because something
has not been set up (for example, a fax forwarding or paging
number has not been registered). You can register your fax
forwarding number by entering 4. (See Changing the fax
forwarding number on page 69.) 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 69.)
If you hear one long beep, fax messages have been erased
from the memory.
You can check whether your machine has received any faxes.
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.
Press 9 0 to exit remote retrieval. Wait for the long beep, then
replace the handset.
