4.6 TAD (Telephone Answering Device)
The TAD feature is especially useful because it integrates the
operation of the Model 1104 with your telephone answering
device in a way that retains the full flexibility of each system.
This allows you to have on-demand telephone access to the Model
1104, for obtaining a Status Report, or for issuing call-in
commands, while your telephone answering device is set to
receive outside calls. Programming for use with a telephone
answering device (TAD) is always used in conjunction with Rings
Until Answer, detailed in section 4.5.
NOTE
The TAD feature only applies to answering devices
connected to the same telephone line as the Model
1104.
4.6.1 TAD Enable/Disable
To enable/disable the TAD feature:
1. Press SENSOR ON/OFF.
2. Press RING/TAD.
The Model 1104 will respond:“On.” (If the Model 1104 says
“Off,”repeat steps 1 and 2 to reactivate TAD.)
4.6.2 Using the TAD Feature
1. Make sure the TAD feature is enabled on the Model 1104.
(The default setting is disabled, so you must enable it first.)
2. Determine the number of rings your telephone answering
device uses to answer the telephone. (Most answering devices
require 4 rings; others are selectable.)
3. On the Model 1104, program Rings Until Answer to a greater
number than the number of rings set on your answering
machine.
