You can activate and control your answering machine remotely from any telephone.
To to so, you normally require a remote control transmitter (special accessory). You do not need this remote control transmitter, however, if you are carrying out remote retrieval from a telephone which is programmed for dual-tone multifrequency signalling (DTMF) or which can be switched over to this mode of dialing (
Temporary changeover of the dialing method). You can then control remote retrieval from the keypad of your telephone set.
If you do use the remote control transmitter, hold it against the handset with the rubber ring over the microphone inlet.
You will find brief notes on the remote retrieval function at the end of these operating instructions. It is advisable to have these notes handy in case you need to retrieve messages remotely.
You can control the following functions with the remote retrieval facility:
- listening to received messages
- erasing received messages
- recording announcements
- changing the operating mode
- activating/deactivating the answering machine
- recording announcement texts
- erasing announcement texts
Points to note in connection with remote retrieval:
- In order to protect the remote retrieval function against possible abuse, you must setup a secret PIN code (
Display of the settings/Programming of the PIN code). Without this, remote retrieval is not possible.
- You can block any remote retrieval by specifying "0000" as being the PIN code.
- You can always abort functions with key 5.
- It is advisable to press this key when you change functions.
- If you have programmed your answering machine for "automatic", note carefully the contents of the section
Possible settings.
