SETTING THE REMOTE OPERATION PIN

The TAD-797’s two-digit remote opera- tion PIN (personal identification number) prevents unauthorized remote access to your messages. The PIN is preset to 80. Follow these steps to change the PIN to any number from 00 to 99.

Note: If you wait more than 15 seconds between each keypress, the TAD exits the PIN setting process. Start again at Step 1.

1.Hold down PIN until the TAD beeps and 00 appears in the message counter window.

2.Press SKIP to set the first digit of the PIN higher or REPEAT to set it lower. Then press PIN.

3.Press SKIP or REPEAT to set the second digit of the PIN, then press PIN. The TAD announces the new PIN.

To check your PIN at any time, press PIN. The PIN appears in the message counter window, and the TAD announc- es it.

Note: If the TAD loses power for longer than about one hour, the PIN resets to 80.

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-797 using its handset or another telephone on the same line as the TAD.

USING TOLL-SAVER

If RING TIME is set to T/S (toll-saver, see “Setting the Number of Rings” on Page 14), the TAD-797 answers after about three rings if you have new mes- sages (ones you have not listened to). If there are no new messages, the TAD answers after about five rings. This gives you time to hang up before the TAD answers so you can avoid unnec- essary long-distance charges.
