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 THE TOLL-SAVER

If the ring select switch is set to
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.
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.
3. Enter a remote command (see "Re-
mote Commands" on Page 18).
