While you are away from your home or office, you can use a touch-tone phone
or a pulse phone with a pocket tone dialer to:

    Set the answering system to answer calls

    Play your messages

    Erase your messages

REMOTE ANSWER ON

You can use any remote phone to set the answering system to answer calls
if:

    The answering system has power.

    The cassette is loaded.

    The answering system's STOP/ON switch is set to STOP.

To set the answering system to answer calls, dial your phone number and
wait about 60 seconds until the answering system answers.  Then hang up the
phone.

NOTE:  Be sure to set STOP/ON to ON when you get home to play back any
       recorded messages.

REMOTE PLAYBACK

You must know your remote operation security code to play back your
messages from a remote phone.  Your remote operation security code (a 3-
digit number) is printed on the bottom of your answering system.

NOTE:  The answering system automatically saves your messages after remote
       playback. It does not rewind and record new messages over the ones
       you have heard by remote.

To play back your messages from a remote phone, follow these steps.

1.  Dial your phone number.

    The answering system answers on the second ring if there are messages.
    If there are no messages, the answering system answers on the fourth
    ring.

    This toll-saver feature saves long-distance charges.  If there are no
    new messages, you can hang up before the answering system answers.

2.  When the outgoing message stops and a beep sounds, enter the remote
    operation security code within 5 second.  Be sure each button press is
    at least 1/2 second long.  The answering system beeps while the tape
    rewinds.  If no beeps sound, re-enter the code. 

NOTES:  If you do not enter the code within 5 seconds, the answering system
        hangs up.

        If the remote phone does not sound continuous tones, you can use a
        pocket tone dialer available at your local Radio Shack store.

The answering system plays back the incoming messages.  At the end of all
the messages, the answering system beeps four times.

To replay the messages, wait about 8 seconds.  After a single beep, enter
the remote operation security code again.

Saving the Messages

If you want to save the messages, simple hang up the phone during or after
message playback.

Erasing the Messages

If you want to erase the messages after playback, enter the remote
operation security code within 8 seconds after the four short beeps at the
end of all the messages.  After the answering system beeps, hang up the
phone.

NOTE:  After you erase messages remotely, you cannot recover them.
