Radio Shack TAD-759 owner manual Remote Operation, Using TOLL-SAVER, Using Remote Commands

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 at your local Ra- dioShack store) to enter your remote op- eration security code and do any of the following:

•set the TAD to answer or not answer calls

•listen to your messages

•record a new announcement

•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-759.

USING TOLL-SAVER

If the ring select switch is set to TS (toll- saver, see “Setting the Number of Rings” on Page 10) the TAD answers af- ter two rings if you have new messages. If there are no new messages, the TAD waits for four rings before it answers. This gives you time to hang up before the TAD answers so you can avoid un- necessary long-distance charges.

USING REMOTE

COMMANDS

Follow these steps to operate the TAD from a touch-tone phone or a pulse (ro- tary) phone with a pocket tone dialer.

1.Dial your phone number.

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 answer calls, it will answer after about 60 seconds.

3.Enter a remote command (see “Remote Commands” on Page 19).

4.When you finish, simply hang up.
