Answering machine 59
When Remote access is
enabled, you can call in from
another phone to listen to your
messages and operate your
answering machine. You should
set a 4 digit system PIN so that
other people can’t ring up and
listen to your messages.
When Remote access is turned
off, the 4 digit system PIN is
automatically re-set to 0000.
You should change the 4 digit
system PIN from the original
setting of 0000 and keep it
somewhere safe. To change
your system PIN see page 39.
If you enter the system PIN
incorrectly three times, the call
will end automatically.

ring. After 20 rings the machine will switch on
and answer your call.
