you must use a tone dialling box. Please consult your dealer in this case.

Remote access of the answering device

You may wish to play back messages when you are away from home.

Call your fax machine and wait until you hear the outgoing message.

Enter your four-digit access code. The outgoing message is interrupted. If the outgoing message does not stop playing

after you have pressed the first key of the code, press the first key again. Enter the rest of the code only after the outgoing

message has stopped playing. You will hear a brief confirmation tone after every digit.

When you enter the remote access using a mobile phone or from abroad, you must wait at least 1 second between each

digit of the code.

When you have entered the fourth digit, you will either hear one confirmation tone which means that the code is accepted

or four short whistle tones which indicate that one or more of the four digits was wrong.

You have three attempts at entering the right code number, after which you will be disconnected.

Once you have entered all four digits correctly you will be able to listen to all new messages. If no new messages have

been recorded you must wait for a second confirmation tone before entering further commands.

You can now enter more commands or you can replace the receiver to end remote access.

Below you will find a table showing all functions which can be carried out remotely.

Make a note of your access code by incorporating it in a longer number, for example, so that it cannot be recognised by

other people.

If you wish to change your access code, repeat the above procedure and enter a new code.

To switch the remote access function off again, enter 0000 as four-digit code.

Ensure that the access code (function 52) is not the same as the VIP code (function 53) for your answering device. If you

try to enter the same code, the message CODE NOT OK appears on the display. You must then select another code.
