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.
