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-732.

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 “Setting the Number of Rings” on Page 15), the TAD answers after about two rings if you have new messages. If there are no new messag- es, the TAD waits for about four rings before it answers. This gives you time to hang up before the TAD answers so you can avoid unnecessary long-distance charges.

COMMANDS

3.Enter the code for the desired re- mote command (see “Remote Com- mands” on Page 30).

Note: If you wait more than 20 seconds without entering a command, the TAD hangs up.
