REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION

While you are away from your home or office, you can use a touch-tone phone or a pulse phone with a pocket tone dialer to:

•Set the TAD-277 to answer calls

•Play your messages

•Record a message

•Set the TAD-277 to record over old messages

REMOTE ANSWER-ON

You can use a remote phone to set the TAD-277 to answer calls if:

•The TAD-277 has power.

•The cassette is loaded.

•The TAD-277 is off.

To remotely set the TAD-277 to an- swer calls, dial your phone number then let your phone ring at least 12 times until the TAD-277 answers. Then hang up the phone.

Notes:

•Your phone rings 10 times plus the number of rings you have set using RING SELECT (see “Setting the Number of Rings” on Page 8) before the TAD-277 answers. For example, if RING SELECT is set to 7, the TAD-277 answers after 17 rings.

•When you return, be sure to rotate VOLUME to turn the TAD-277 on.

Then you can play any messages you received while you were gone (see “Playing Messages” on Page 10).

REMOTE PLAYBACK

You must know your 3-digit remote operation security code to play back or record messages from a remote phone. The code for your particular answering system is printed on the bottom of your TAD-277.

To play back your messages from a re- mote phone, dial your phone number. After the TAD-277 plays the outgoing message and beeps, enter the remote operation security code within 7 sec- onds. (Be sure each button press is at least 1/2 second long). The TAD-277 sounds a tone while the tape rewinds. If no tone sounds, re-enter the code.

Notes:

•If you do not enter the code within 7 seconds, the TAD-277 hangs up.

•If the TAD-277 is set to TS, it answers on the second ring if there are messages. If there are no messages, the TAD-277 answers on the fourth ring.

The TAD-277 plays back the incoming messages. At the end of all the mes- sages, the TAD-277 sounds four short beeps and automatically saves your messages.
