Using Remote Commands | Playing Back the Messages |
Follow these steps to operate the TAD from a remote location.
Note: If you wait more than 15 seconds be- tween key presses, the TAD sounds a long beep and hangs up.
1.Dial your phone number and wait for the TAD to answer. If the TAD is not set to answer calls, it will answer after about 10 rings and sound a series of beeps.
2.When the outgoing message begins (or the TAD sounds a series of beeps), press #, then enter your security code within 2 seconds.
3.If the code is correct, the TAD announces the day and time, then announces the number of new and old messages for each mail box, then “To play incoming message, press pound two. For help, press pound zero.”
Note: The TAD beeps about every 2 seconds, prompting you to enter remote commands. This is the command prompt.
If the TAD does not respond, try entering your code again. If you enter an incor- rect code three times, the TAD beeps and hangs up.
Notes:
•When the TAD is in remote operation, it
stops all answering functions and the display on the base shows h9. The TAD resumes answering functions when it is no longer in remote command if you have not turned it off.
•The remote operation stops when some- one picks up the handset or any phone on the same phone line.
1.At the command prompt, press #, 2. The TAD announces “Please select mail box.”
2.Press # and the mail box number. For example, to listen to the messages in mail box 1, press #, 1.
The TAD announces the mail box num- ber and starts playing back new mes- sages. If the selected mail box does not contain new message, any old mes- sages play. If it does not have any mes- sage, the TAD announces “You have no messages.”
3.To skip the message, press #, 3. To lis- ten again to the current message, press
#, 1. If you press #, 1 within about 4 sec- onds after a message begins playing, the TAD replays the previous message. If the current message is the first new message, the TAD plays back from the beginning of the current message (it does not play old messages).
To stop playback and return to the com- mand prompt mode, press #, 5.
To delete the current message, press #, 4 during playback.
Note: The remote playback of incoming messages is limited to 4 minutes. If you have more messages after 4 minutes have passed, you must press #, 2 again to listen to the rest of the messages.
