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 security code and do any of the following:

•Set the TAD to answer calls

•Listen to your messages

•Record a new announcement

•Record a memo

•Delete messages

•Monitor the room where the TAD is located

SETTING THE REMOTE OPERATION SECURITY CODE

The TAD’s preset remote operation se- curity code is 00. Follow these steps if you want to set a different code.

1.Press PGM/DEL. The answer indi- cator flashes. Press REMOTE.

2.Within 30 seconds, enter your 2- digit remote operation security code. The TAD beeps twice.

USING THE TOLL SAVER

When you call the TAD, it is preset to answer after about two rings if you have new messages (ones you have not played). If there are no new mes- sages, the TAD is preset to wait for about four rings before it answers. This gives you time to hang up before the TAD answers and avoid unnecessary long-distance charges. See “Setting the Number of Rings.”

REMOTE ANSWER-ON

You can use any remote phone to set the TAD to answer calls and record messages. But, the TAD must be plugged into AC power.

Note: When the TAD is set for an- nouncement-only, you cannot set the TAD to record calls using this proce- dure.

To remotely set the TAD to answer calls, dial your phone number and wait about 12-14 rings until the TAD an- swers. Then hang up the phone or pro- ceed with remote operation beginning with Step 2 under “Using Remote Con- trol Commands.”

After you hang up, the TAD answers calls and records incoming messages.
