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 messages

•monitor the room where the TAD is located

Note: You cannot remotely operate the TAD from another phone on the same line as your TAD-739.

USING REMOTE

COMMANDS

Follow these steps to operate the TAD remotely.

1.Dial either one of your phone num- ber which you connected with the TAD.

2.When the TAD answers, enter your remote operation security code. The TAD beeps once to confirm that you entered the correct code.

Notes:

•If you do not enter each digit of the security code within 8 sec- onds, the TAD hangs up.

•Even if the TAD is not set to an- swer calls, it will answer after about 9 rings.

USING THE TOLL-SAVER

If the ring select switch is set to TS (toll- saver) (see “Setting the Number of Rings” on Page 11), the TAD answers after two rings if you have new messag- es. If there are no new messages, the TAD waits for four rings before it an- swers. This gives you time to hang up before the TAD answers so you can avoid unnecessary long-distance charg- es.

3.Enter a remote command (see “Re- mote Commands” on Page 18).

4.When you finish, simply hang up.
