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 to enter your remote opera- tion security code and do any of the fol- lowing:

•set the TAD to answer calls

•listen to messages

•record a new outgoing message

•record a memo

•delete messages

Note: You cannot operate the TAD from another phone on the same line as your TAD-733.

1.Dial your phone number. After about 10 rings, the TAD automatically turns on to answer your call and an- nounces “Answer off.”

2.Enter your remote operation securi- ty code. The TAD beeps.

Note: If you do not enter each digit of the security code within 20 sec- onds, the TAD hangs up.

3.Press then . The TAD says “An- swer on” and beeps twice. It is now set to record calls.

At this point you can hang up or enter other remote commands.

USING TOLL-SAVER

If the 4/7/TS switch is set to TS (toll- saver, see “Number of Rings” on Page 12), the TAD answers after about two rings if you have new messages. If there are no new messages, the TAD waits for about four rings before it an- swers. This gives you time to hang up before the TAD answers so you can avoid unnecessary long-distance charg- es.
