Accessing the Answering System from Another Location
You can also access your answering system from any phone that is tone-dial 

compatible by entering a 3-digit security code after you hear the outgoing 

announcement. 

NOTE: If the answering system memory is full, it answers after 10 rings, beeps 

and waits for you to enter the 3-digit security code. If you don’t enter the security 

code within 10 seconds, the phone hangs up.

NOTE: The unit will hang up after 3 failed attempts to input correct security 

code.

1.  Dial the telephone number to which the answering system is connected to.
2. Enter the security code after you hear the tone.
3. Follow the voice menu to use the answering system’s remote functions.
The remote feature lets you perform the following functions:

TIP: You can bypass the outgoing announcement by pressing any numbered key 

on the touch-tone pad while the announcement is playing. Then, you can enter 

your security code to access the answering system.

The default security code for accessing the answerer from another location  

is 1 2 3. You must use the handset to change the security code. With the phone 

OFF (not in TALK mode), follow these steps:
