REMOTE ANSWER-ON
If the TAD is connected to AC power, you can use any remote phone to turn the TAD on and set it to answer calls and record messages.
To remotely set the TAD to answer calls, dial your phone number and wait about 12 rings until the TAD answers. Then hang up the phone or proceed with remote operation beginning with Step 2 under “Using Remote Control Commands.”
After you hang up, the TAD answers calls and records incoming messages.
Note: When the TAD is set for an- nouncement-only, the TAD answers calls but does not record messages.
USING REMOTE
COMMANDS
Follow these steps to operate the TAD from a remote touch-tone phone.
1.Dial your phone number.
2.When the outgoing announce-
ment begins, press 
. The announcement stops.
3.Enter the 3-digit remote operation security code. The TAD sounds three long beeps then announces “Press one to play back memos. Press two to play back messages. Press three to monitor the room. Press four to record a new outgo- ing message. Press six to skip back one message. Press seven to repeat the message. Press eight to erase messages. Press nine to skip the message. Press star (
) to stop playback or record.”
Note: If no beeps sound, re-enter the code. If you enter the correct code, but the TAD does not accept it, the code might have reset to the default (028) because of low battery power. Try entering 028 as the security code. If this works, replace the TAD’s backup battery and reset the remote oper- ation security code as soon as you return to the TAD’s location (see “Setting the Day and Time” and “Setting the Remote Opera- tion Security Code”).
