7.3 Activating the Answering Machine
A profile must be selected on the “Settings / ISDN” page in
order to activate the answering machine. If this is the case,
the answering machine can be activated by clicking the “An-
swer” button.
Test your answering machine settings by calling up FRITZ!fon
yourself. If you have selected different profiles and sched-
ules for your ISDN line’s various multiple subscriber num-
bers, then call each number. If you are running FRITZ!fax at
the same time, then send yourself a test fax to the number
assigned to the FRITZ!fax module to make sure that each
module is answering the calls intended for it.
Playing and Managing Messages
To listen to all new messages, click the “Play new messages”
button in the toolbar.
To listen to certain messages, select the desired entries in
the Journal and then select the “Play back message” com-
mand in the “Journal” menu.
Remote Playback
When you are not home to listen to your messages, use the
remote playback feature. Call FRITZ!fon from a touch-tone
telephone. After the beep, enter the code number for new
messages or for all messages on the telephone’s dialing key-
pad. Before you can use this feature, you must specify the
playback code numbers on the “Answering Machine” page in
the settings.
