Message Alert; Remotely Accessing Your Answering Machine - Radio Shack 43-143 Owner's Manual

Beyond the Basics
Message Alert
The message alert feature sounds a short alert tone whenever
you have a new message. When a new message is received and
message alert is on, the alert tone will sound every 15 seconds.
To activate or deactivate the message alert, see page 75.
When all new messages are played back, the message alert tone
will automatically deactivate. The tone will not deactivate until
all new messages are played back. To quickly turn off the tone,
press any key on the base.
Remotely Accessing Your
Answering Machine
You can access your answering machine while you are away from
home to check, play, and delete messages, or even record a new
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 76).
