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 or not answer calls

•listen to your messages

•record a new outgoing message

•delete messages

Note: You cannot remotely operate the TAD from another phone on the same line as your TAD-779.

USING THE TOLL-SAVER

If the ring select switch is set to TS (toll- saver) (see “Setting the Number of Rings” on Page 9), the TAD answers af- ter two rings if you have new messages. If there are no new messages, the TAD waits for four rings before it answers. This gives you time to hang up before the TAD answers so you can avoid un- necessary long-distance charges.

USING REMOTE

COMMANDS

Follow these steps to operate the TAD remotely.

1.Dial your phone number.

Note: Even if the TAD is not set to answer calls, it will answer after about 10 rings.

2.When the TAD answers, enter your remote operation security code. The TAD beeps to confirm that you entered the correct code.

Note: If you do not enter each digit of the security code within 8 sec- onds of the last, the TAD hangs up.

3.Enter the remote command. See “Remote Commands” on Page14.

4.You can hang up at this point or enter other remote commands.
