Remote control (only tiptel 291/293)
Remote activation of the answering mode
If you forgot to switch on the answering mode, you can do this remotely. Just call your tiptel
291/293. After about 50 seconds the device picks up and you will hear a signal tone. Now,
please enter your personal remote control code. If the remote control code was identified, the
selected outgoing message is played back for control purposes. The device can now be operated
remotely. The answering machine will activate the answer mode and will answer incoming calls
as soon as you replace the handset or stop the remote control function (
 button and 
button).
The remote activation of the answer mode is only possible if you programmed "remote
answering mode = on".
Remote erase during the remote interrogation process
During the remote interrogation, you have the option to erase the currently played back incoming
message remotely. The gained free recording capacity will be available for new incoming
messages immediately. Should you wish to protect your recorded incoming message against an
unwanted erase, you can define this via the settings of the remote control. For this purpose, you
just have to set "remote erase = off".
Remote pre-interrogation free of charge (toll saver)
The remote pre-interrogation function informs you whether new messages have been recorded.
This function does not entail any charges. If new messages have been recorded, the answering
machine picks up after the programmed delay time. In the case that no new incoming messages
have been recorded, the pick-up delay time is increased by 10 seconds. In this way, you have
the option to replace the handset before the answering machine picks-up.
The remote pre-interrogation free of charge is only possible after having set the corresponding
remote control settings to "remote pre-interrogation free of charge".
