USING REMOTE

COMMANDS

Note: The TAD automatically resets to answer calls after remote operation, but does not automatically delete mes- sages you played by remote.

Follow these steps to operate the TAD from a remote touch-tone phone.

1.Dial your phone number.

2.When the outgoing announce- ment begins, press *. The announcement stops, and the TAD beeps.

3.Press * again and enter the 2-digit remote operation security code. (See “List of Remote Com- mands.”) The TAD beeps and announces “Press one to play back memos. Press two to play back messages. Press three to erase a message. Press four to record a new OGM. Press five to monitor the room. Press six to skip back one message. Press seven to skip the message. Press eight to repeat the message. Press nine to record a new memo.”

Note: If no beeps sound, re-enter the code. If you enter the correct code, but the TAD does not accept it, the code might have reset to the default (00) because of a power failure. Try entering 00 as the security code. If this works, replace the TAD’s backup battery

and reset the remote operation security code (see “Setting the Day and Time” and “Setting the Remote Operation Security Code”).

4.Enter your selection.

Notes:

•If you do not press a button within 7 seconds, the TAD hangs up.

•If your telephone line has CPC service and you hang up while the TAD is playing back the messages, it stops playback immediately and resets to answer the next call.

•If you do not have CPC service and you hang up while the TAD is playing back the messages, the TAD might not recognize that you hung up. If someone calls while the TAD continues to play the messages, the caller hears a busy signal. We recom- mend that you play all the mes- sages or skip forward through the messages using remote commands until the TAD beeps twice before you hang up. This is to ensure you hear all your messages.

5.After all the messages play, the TAD beeps twice and repeats the list of remote commands. Enter a new command or hang up the phone.
