ADJUSTING THE TAD’S VOLUME

To adjust the speaker’s volume, repeatedly press VOL 8 or 9 on the base. The volume setting from & (lowest) to / (highest) appears in the message counter window.

DELETING MESSAGES

To delete the current message while it is playing, press DELETE. The TAD beeps.

To delete all messages at once, while mes- sages are not playing, hold down DELETE on the base. The TAD announces “Please se- lect mail box.” Press the desired mail box button. The TAD announces “Deleted” and all the messages in that mail box are deleted.

Note: You cannot delete new (unplayed) messages. If you try to delete all messages at once while you still have new messages in that mail box, the TAD announces “Please play back all messages” and does not delete any messages.

REMOTE OPERATION

While you are away from your home or of- fice, you can use a touch-tone phone, or a pulse (rotary) phone with a pocket tone dialer (available through your local RadioShack store), to enter your security code and do any of the following:

•Set the TAD to answer or not answer calls.

•Listen to your messages.

•Record a new outgoing message.

•Record a memo.

•Erase messages.

Note: You cannot remotely operate the TAD using its handset or another telephone on the same line as the TAD.

Setting the Security Code

The TAD’s two-digit remote operation securi- ty code prevents unauthorized remote ac- cess to your messages. The code is preset to 80.

Follow these steps to change the code to any number from 00 to 99.

Note: If you press SPEAKER or STOP while changing the code, or wait more than 20 sec- onds between key presses, the TAD exits. Start again at Step 1.

1.Press MENU three times. The TAD announces “Security code,” followed by the currently set code. The display also shows the code.

2.Press SET/RING.

3.Repeatedly press or hold down SKIP or REPEAT to change the number.

4.Press SET/RING to store the setting. The TAD announces the newly set code.

5.Press STOP.

To check your code at any time, press MENU three times. The code appears in the mes- sage counter window, and the TAD announc- es it.

Using the Toll-Saver

If the ring time is set to j+ (toll-saver) (see “Setting the Number of Rings” on Page 23), the TAD answers after two rings if you have new messages (ones you have not listened to). If there are no new messages, the TAD answers after four rings so you can hang up before the TAD answers and avoid unneces- sary long-distance charges.
