REMOTE OPERATION

USING THE TOLL-SAVER

When you call the TAD-727 and the number of rings to answer calls is set to “toll-saver”, it answers after about two rings if you have new messages (ones you have not listened to). If there are no new messages, the TAD waits for about five rings before it answers. This gives you time to hang up before the TAD an- swers so you can avoid long-distance charges.

SETTING THE REMOTE OPERATION PIN

The remote operation PIN (personal identification number) permits remote access to the TAD. The PIN can be any number from 00 to 99. The default set- ting is 99, but you can change it by fol- lowing these steps.

1.Press REMOTE on the handset so the TALK/LOW BATT indicator lights. The TAD announces the number of messages you have (if any).

2.Press PIN/# on the handset. Then the TAD announces the current PIN through the handset.

4.Press PIN/# on the keypad again. Then the TAD announces your new PIN stored through the handset’s speaker.

5.Press REMOTE so the TALK/LOW BATT indicator turns off.

The TAD automatically turns itself on to answer your call.

2.When the outgoing message ends,

press then enter your 2-digit PIN within 2 seconds.
