REMOTE OPERATION

You can operate the TAD-1026's an-
swering system from almost any touch-
tone phone, or from a rotary phone using
a pocket tone-dialer (available at your lo-
cal RadioShack store).
Notes:
• When the memory is full, the TAD
answers the call after eight rings
and plays the announcement-only
message (OGM2).
• To bypass the outgoing message
and begin recording a message im-
mediately when you call the TAD
from a remote phone, you can
press # during the announcement.
The TAD skips the rest of the an-
nouncement, beeps once, and be-
gins recording.
• If the TAD is set to
answers after two rings if you have
new messages (ones you have not
played). If there are no new mes-
sages, the TAD waits for four rings
before it answers. This gives you
time to hang up before the TAD an-
swers so you can avoid unneces-
sary long-distance charges. See
"Setting the Number of Rings" on
Page 19.

REMOTE ANSWER-ON

Note: An outgoing message must be re-
corded before you can remotely set the
TAD to answer calls.
To set the TAD to answer calls, dial your
phone number. The TAD answers the
call after 10 rings and sounds two beeps.
Enter the remote operation security
code within 8 seconds. The TAD sounds
one long and one short beep and plays
the OGM1 message.
You can hang up at this point and the
TAD is set to answer calls. Or, you can
now enter other remote command(s).
If the TAD records over 8 seconds of si-
lence, it automatically disconnects.
