Phonetics 1108 user manual No TAD In Use

Chapter 4: Communications Programming

Using the procedure just outlined, all incoming calls will be answered by the telephone answering device, allowing it to operate normally. With the programming just accomplished, the Model 1108 can be accessed remotely, by telephone, to obtain the Status Report.

1.Dial the telephone number of the Model 1108.

2.Let the telephone ring once and then hang up.

3.Wait approximately ten seconds

4.Call the Model 1108 back.

It will answer the telephone on the first ring.

Explanation: The pattern of one ring, followed by a second call (within 30 seconds), signals the Model 1108 to answer your incoming call, excluding the telephone answering device.

NOTE

Special Case: If the Model 1108 shares the same line with a telephone answering device, and during certain time periods, frequent, incoming calls are expected on that line, then you may want to temporarily dis- able the TAD feature. If you leave the TAD enabled, it will not adversely affect normal operation, but if two outside telephone calls are received within the same 30-second time window, the Model 1108 will inter- pret this pattern as a signal to answer the telephone. If this occurs, press any key on the Model 1108 to hang up.

4.6.3 No TAD In Use

If a telephone answering device is not used on the same telephone line as the Model 1108, make sure that the TAD feature is disabled, or turned off. Only Rings Until Answer programming will determine how incoming calls are answered. For example, if you program Rings Until Answer to 3, incoming calls will be answered in 3 rings.
