TAD (Telephone Answering Device)

The TAD feature is especially useful because it integrates the operation of the Boat Remote with your telephone answering device, i.e. answering machine, in a way that retains the full flexibility of each system. This allows you to have on-demand telephone access to your Boat Remote, for obtaining a Status Report, while your tele- phone answering device is set to receive outside calls. Programming Boat Remote for use with a telephone answering device (TAD) is always used in conjunction with Rings Until Answer.

*The TAD feature only applies to answering devices connected to the same telephone line as the Boat Remote.

Program TAD

You can turn TAD on or off, the default is off. While in the Set System menu, turn on or off the TAD feature by pressing the MODE key. When your choice is displayed press ENTER.
