The Answering Machine
4-8
Using the
Answering
Machine
from a
Remote
Phone
You don’t need to be at the machine’s Control Panel to operate
the answering machine. If you have access to a Touch-Tone
phone, you can operate many features, such as message
playback, regardless of where you are.
To operate your machine from a remote phone, you need to
enter a five-character: Remote Password. The Remote
Password is preset at the factory to ‘#139#’ and you can
change the password to any number you want, through the
User Options. For more information, see “TAM Options (SF-
3100T only)” on page 6-11.
Accessing the Machine
1 Place a call to your fax machine from a Touch-
Tone phone.
•A pulse line works only if you can manually switch
the phone to tone dialling. If you can, switch it to tone
after you dial the fax number but before you enter any
Remote Password or Remote Command.
2 Enter your Remote Password when the machine
answers with the greeting.
•When the correct password is recognized by the
machine, you will hear two short beeps (the confirma-
tion tone).
•If the machine doesn’t immediately respond to a
remote password:
- try to enter the code again.
- If the machine does not accept and you think you
entered the password correctly, press and hold each
key at least for a second
- try to enter the code after TAM message
- If the problem persists, try again from another
phone.
