Remote Retrieval
You can call your machine from any touch tone phone (or remote Group 3 fax machine) and use a
Remote Access Code and other button presses to check the receiving status, retrieve fax messages
or change settings.
To receive faxes or the Memory Status List at your location, you must call from a fax machine using
touch tone. For convenience, you can retrieve faxes and the Status List from a touch tone phone by
having them sent to a fax machine.
For example, if your hotel room does not have a fax machine, you can enter the number of the fax
machine at the hotel’s Front Desk.
Changing the Remote Access Code
Enter your Remote Access Code when the fax machine picks up your call, so you can access features
remotely. The access code is preset to 1 5 9 , but you can change this.

The fax machine signals if there are any messages received:
1 long beep—Fax message(s)
No long beep—no messages

The fax machine then prompts you with two short beeps to enter a command. If you wait longer

the machine beeps three times.

Press 9 0 to reset the machine when you finish.

If your fax machine is set to MANUAL mode, you can access your machine
remotely by phoning it and letting it ring for about 100 seconds. Your fax machine
will answer the phone after 100 seconds of ringing, and you then have 30 seconds
to enter your Remote Access Code.
