REMOTE OPERATION

While you are away from your home or office, you can use a touch-tone phone or a pulse (rotary) phone with a pocket tone dialer (available at your local Ra- dioShack store) to enter your remote operation security code and do any of the following:

•set the TAD to answer or not answer calls

•listen to your messages

•record a new announcement

•delete messages

•monitor the room where the TAD is located

Note: You cannot remotely operate the TAD from another phone on the same line as your TAD-799.

USING TOLL-SAVER

If the ring select switch is set to TS (toll- saver, see “Setting the Number of Rings” on Page 11), the TAD answers after two rings if you have new messag- es. If there are no new messages, the TAD waits for four rings before answer- ing. This gives you time to hang up be- fore the TAD answers so you can avoid unnecessary long-distance charges.

CHANGING THE REMOTE OPERATION SECURITY CODE

The TAD-799’s remote operation secu- rity code is preset to 799. Follow these steps to change the code.

Notes:

•Be sure to set each digit within 8 seconds. Otherwise, you must start over from Step 1.

•We recommend you not use three identical digits (such as 999) for the security code. Such numbers are too easy for others to guess.

•If AC power fails or if the backup battery becomes weak, the remote operation security code automati- cally resets to 799.

1.Hold down CODE for about 2 sec- onds. The TAD beeps and the first digit of the preset code flashes.
