 NOTES: 
If you subscribe to voicemail service through your telephone service provider, see Answering  
system and voicemail indicators on 
page 49.
If you set the number of rings for the answering system as two or three rings, the caller ID 
announce feature may not have enough time to announce the caller’s full information.
Remote access code
To access your answering system remotely from any touch-tone phone, you 
need to enter a two-digit number (00-99). By default, the remote access code 
is 19.
To change the remote access code:
1. When the handset is in idle mode, press MENU/SELECT to enter the main 
menu.
2. Press qCID or pDIR to scroll to >Answering sys, then  
press MENU/SELECT.
3.  Press qCID or pDIR to scroll to >Ans sys setup, then  
press MENU/SELECT.
4. Press qCID or pDIR to scroll to >Remote code, then 
press MENU/SELECT.
5. Use the dialing keys to enter a two-digit number. Use MUTE/DELETE to 
backspace and delete a digit. 
6. Press MENU/SELECT to save the setting. You hear a confirmation tone. Press 
OFF/CANCEL to cancel.
 NOTE: If the answering system is off and there is an incoming call, the system answers 
after 10 rings and announces, “Please enter your remote access code.” For more 
information about remote access codes, see pages 56-57.
