REMOTE OPERATION

While you are away from your home or office, you can use a touch-tone phone or a pulse (rotary) phone with a pocket tone dialer to enter your remote opera- tion security code and do any of the fol- lowing:

•Set the TAD to answer calls

•Listen to your messages

•Record a new announcement

•Record a memo

•Delete individual messages

•Monitor the room where the TAD is located

USING THE TOLL SAVER

If the TAD is set to answer in three rings or more and there are new mes- sages (ones you have not played), the TAD answers two rings sooner than you set. For example, if you set it to answer in five rings and there are new messages, it will answer after three rings.

If there are no new messages (or you set the TAD to answer in two rings or less), it answers according to the number of rings you set. This gives you time to hang up before the TAD answers and avoid unnecessary long- distance charges.

To use the toll-saver, be sure the TAD is set to answer in three rings or more.

CHANGING THE

REMOTE CODE

To use your TAD from a remote tele- phone, you must first enter a 3-digit re- mote operation security code. The security code for your TAD is preset to

028.You can either use the preset code, or follow these steps to change it.

Note: In Steps 2 and 3, you must enter your selection within 7 seconds. Other- wise, the TAD beeps three times then exits the programming mode. If this happens, start over again at Step 1.

1.Press PGM/DEL. The TAD beeps once.

2.Press 2/REMOTE. The TAD beeps once.
