REMOTE OPERATION

USING THE TOLL-SAVER

When you call the TAD with the ring type set to toll-saver, it answers after about two rings if you have new mes- sages (ones you have not played). 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 charges. See “Setting the Number of Rings” on Page 22.

ACCESSING THE TAD BY REMOTE

While you are away from the phone base, you can use the cordless handset or a touch-tone phone or a pulse (rotary) phone with a pocket tone dialer to enter your security code and do any of the fol- lowing:

•Set the TAD to answer calls

•Listen to your messages

•Turn on mailboxes

•Record a new announcement

•Record a memo

•Erase messages

•Turn the TAD off

Note: If the phone is set to PULSE,

press TONE to temporarily change to touch-tone dialing.

2.Press TONE followed by the # key within 10 seconds.

The TAD plays a series of voice prompts to guide you through the remote operation features. (See “Using Remote Commands” on Page 30.)

From Another Phone Line

Note: You cannot access the TAD from another telephone on the same line as your TAD-1010.

1.Dial your phone number and wait for the TAD to answer. If the TAD is OFF when you call, let the phone ring 10 times. The TAD automati- cally turns itself on and answers your call.

2.When the outgoing announcement begins, press and enter the 2- digit remote operation security code. The announcement stops, and the TAD plays a series of voice prompts to guide you through remote operation features. (See “Using Remote Commands” on Page 30.)

From the Cordless Handset

1.Pick up the handset and press TALK to get a dial tone.
