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 individual messages
• Monitor the room where the TAD
is located

USING THE TOLL SAVER

If the TAD is set to answer in three
rings or more and there are new mes-
sages (ones you have not played), the
TAD answers two rings sooner than
you set. For example, if you set it to
answer in five rings and there are new
messages, it will answer after three
rings.
If there are no new messages (or you
set the TAD to answer in two rings or
less), it answers according to the
number of rings you set. This gives
you time to hang up before the TAD
answers and avoid unnecessary long-
distance charges.
To use the toll-saver, be sure the TAD
is set to answer in three rings or more.

CHANGING THE
REMOTE CODE
To use your TAD from a remote tele-
phone, you must first enter a 3-digit re-
mote operation security code. The
security code for your TAD is preset to
028. You can either use the preset
code, or follow these steps to change
it.
Note: In Steps 2 and 3, you must enter
your selection within 7 seconds. Other-
wise, the TAD beeps three times then
exits the programming mode. If this
happens, start over again at Step 1.
1. Press . The TAD beeps
PGM/DEL
once.
2. Press . The TAD beeps

once.

3. Enter the new remote operation
security code. The TAD beeps
once after you press each button,
then it beeps twice to indicate the
new code has been stored in
memory.
