Operate Southwestern Bell 936 Remote Message Retrieval

The Southwestern Bell 936 answering machine records voice message from callers when you are unable to answer your home telephone. One of the features of the answering machine is remote message retrieval. This allows you to check the messages on your answering machine from any touch-tone phone. This is helpful if you are out of town or away from your home for prolonged periods of time.


Instructions


1. Dial your phone from a touch-tone telephone.


2. Listen to your outgoing greeting. When the greeting is over, a beep will sound. Within 20 seconds of this beep, enter your three-digit personal code. The code is located on a sticker on the bottom of your unit. It can not be changed or reset. Press and hold the first digit for one to two seconds, then release. Wait two seconds before pressing the second digit downward for one to two seconds. Release the button, wait two seconds and press the third digit.


3. Listen for a beep after entering your code. If one short beep is heard, the code was correctly entered. If no beep is heard, attempt to reenter your code.


4. Press "1" to play messages in mailbox one, press "2" to play messages in mailbox two, press "3" to record a memo message, press "8" to record a new outgoing greeting or press "9" to turn the answering machine off.
