Using the Toll-Saver

If the ring time is set to jI

(toll-saver) (see

“Setting the Number of Rings” on Page 18), the system answers after two rings if you have new messages (ones you have not listened to). If there are no new messages, the system answers after four rings so you can hang up before the system answers and avoid unnecessary long-distance charges. If the message memory is full however, the system answers after about ten rings regardless of the ring time setting.

USING REMOTE

COMMANDS

While in remote operation, the system stops all answering functions and displays h9

.

Answering functions resume when it is no longer in remote command, if you have not turned the system off.

The remote operation stops when someone picks up the handset or any phone on the same phone line.

Follow these steps to operate the answering system from a remote location.

Note: If you wait more than 15 seconds between each keypress, the system sounds a long beep and hangs up.

1. Dial your phone number and wait for the system to answer. If the system is not set to answer calls, it will answer after about ten rings and sound a series of beeps.

2. When the outgoing message begins (or the system sounds a series of beeps), press #, then enter your security code within 2 seconds.

3. If the code is correct, the system announces the number of new and old messages, then “To play incoming message, press pound two. For help, press pound zero.”

If the system does not respond, try entering your code again. If you enter an incorrect code three times, the system beeps and disconnects.

4. While the system is beeping, press # and (within 2 seconds) the number for the command you want.
