T
O OPERATE THE TELEPHONE ANSWERING
DEVICE FROM A REMOTE LOCATION
You can operate the TAD not only directly using specific keys on the
operator console of the fax machine, but also from any other location
providing the telephone used operates in tone mode, for example:
a mobile phone.
To operate the TAD from a distance, you must set the fax machine in
the "TAD/FAX RX" reception mode and you must also, type in the
access code (default value: "1234"), after listening to OUTGO-
ING MESSAGE 1.
The remote functions available are activated by another numeric
code consisting of one or two digits (see the table below).
If the code has two digits, it is advisable to wait for the con-
firmation signal between one digit and the other.

ANSWERING DEVICE
You can set up the TAD for the following special functions:
•
TOLL SAVER
•
OUTGOING MESSAGE ONLY
•
SILENT RECEPTION OF INCOMING MESSAGES
•
ABREVIATED MESSAGES
T
OLL SAVER
Using this function, when you access the TAD from a re-
mote location to listen to any messages, the fax machine will
answer as follows:
•
if there are no new messages, it will answer the call two
rings after the number preset;
•
if there are some new messages, it will answer the call
after the preset number of rings (See "To change
the number of rings", section "More sophisticated
operations").
Therefore, if you hear one ring more than the preset
number, you will know that there are no new messages
and you can hang up before the fax machine answers
the call.
This function may only be enabled by the customer
engineering service and is not available in all coun-
tries.

UTGOING MESSAGE ONLY
Using this function, whenever an incoming call is received,
the TAD plays the OGM 1 but does not record any incoming
messages.
You can use this function when you expect to be away for a
long time and it would not be possible to record all mes-
sages received in your absence.
In this case, in place of the ordinary outgoing message, it is
advisable to record a different one, for example:
"From 22nd June to 19th September only faxes will be
accepted. No incoming messages will be recorded".
