solve the problem.
You can set your Digital Satellite Receiver/Recorder to
check for messages automatically. However, if you
check for messages yourself before the receiver/
recorder is set to do so automatically, the Message

checks again. You may want to consider setting the
receiver/recorder to check for mail when you usually
are not connected.

Standardized jacks are used for these connections.
This equipment should not be used on party lines or
