Telephone answering machine (TAM)
• If there are no new messages in the
answering machine, it will pick up the
line after 4 rings.
• Hence, if you want to check if you
have any messages without incurring
call charges, you can hang up the call
after the 3rd ring.
15.6.2 Remote Access
You can check the messages on your
answering machine by calling in from an
outside line and entering the remote
access code*. The keypad on the phone
you use to dial in acts like the functions
on your answering machine.
This feature is deactivated by default.
* The remote access code (which is the
same as your PIN code) prevents any
unauthorised remote access of your
answering machine.

access feature. You can then turn ON
the answering machine and play the
recorded messages.
