Looking at the manual
http://support.radioshack.com/support_phones/doc68/68590.pdf

The code is NOT changeable as near as I can tell. It is written on a label on your unit.

When it answers, after it plays the message, you should type in that 3 digit code. Suppose it is 123.

You should type in 123 and then immediately enter the command you want.

Try 9# to record a memo, and see if it records. That is, type 1239#, and you should be able to record a memo I think the two tones is a misprint. Most of the time you enter the code either while the outgoing message is playing, or immediately after the outgoing message finishes.

If you have the Digital Answerer in White with Extended Recording Time TAD-3808, then slide the Ring Select switch on the right side of the unit to the desired number of rings. TS = toll saver and answers after 2 rings if there are new messages; , otherwise, it will answer after 4 rings.

All of the Radio Shack answering machne manuals can be accessed here: http://support.radioshack.com/productinfo/ProductResults.asp?Name=Telephone_Answering_Devices&ID=002004 .

For the 3808, see http://support.radioshack.com/productinfo/DocumentResults.asp?sku_id=43-3808&Name=Telephone%20Answering%20Devices&Reuse=N for the manuals.

I hope this helps.

Hi Bibi - Is this a regular land line? Is the fax machine supposed to answer if it's a fax but not answer if it's a phone call? Let me know exactly what your mothers' setup is please. It sounds to me like the fax is trying to answer all the calls and the screeching she hears is the fax machine try to handshake, or connect, with another fax machine. You've probably heard what that sounds like. Let me know the answers and if you can ask some people that called if they heard anything. Thanks.
