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 (available through your local RadioShack store) to enter your PIN and do any of the following:

Set the TAD to answer or not answer calls.

Listen to your messages.

Record a new outgoing message.

Record a memo.

Erase messages.

Note: You cannot remotely operate the TAD-729 using its handset or another telephone on the same line as the TAD.

USING THE TOLL-SAVER

If RING TIME is set to T/S (toll-saver), (see “Setting the Number of Rings” on Page 13), the TAD-729 answers after three rings if you have new messages (ones you have not listened to). If there are no new messages, the TAD answers after five rings. This gives you time to hang up before the TAD answers so you can avoid unnecessary long-distance charges.

USING REMOTE

COMMANDS

Follow these steps to operate the TAD from a remote location.

Note: If you wait more than 15 seconds between each keypress, 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 PIN within 2 seconds.

3.If the PIN is correct, the TAD announces the day and time, then it announces the number of new and old messages. The TAD plays all new messages then beeps about once every two seconds to let you know it is ready to accept remote commands.

Notes:

If the TAD does not respond, try entering your PIN again. If you enter an incorrect PIN three times, the TAD beeps and hangs up.

When the TAD is in remote opera- tion, it stops all answering functions and the display on the base shows rC. The TAD resumes answering functions when it is no longer in remote command if you have not turned it off.

When using remote operation, you can only delete the current message during playback. You cannot delete all the messages stored at one time.
