Remote Retrieval
This section is for the FAX-T86. (If you have the FAX-T84, please see chapter 10 for your remote
fax options.)
You can call your machine from any touch tone phone (or remote Group 3 fax machine set for tone)
and use a Remote Access Code and Remote Control Commands to retrieve voice (and fax)
messages. You can also program and change some settings for your Message Manager.
Using the Remote Access Code
1
Dial your machine phone number from a touch tone phone.

When your machine answers and beeps, immediately enter your Remote Access Code.

The machine signals the kinds of messages received:
1 long beep—Fax message(s)
2 long beeps—Voice message(s)
3 long beeps—Fax and Voice message(s)
No beeps—no messages

The machine then prompts you with two short beeps to enter a command. If you wait longer than
30 seconds to enter a command, the machine hangs up. If you enter an invalid command, the
machine beeps three times.
