ETRIEVING
To call in and retrieve messages or data from a TAD or a KSU/PBX's voice-
mail system, follow these steps:
1. From the remote location, dial your phone number to reach the TAD or
dial the voice-mail system's number and wait for the ASD-4 to answer the
call.
2. If you don't have to use touch-tones to retrieve your messages or data,
skip to Step 3. If you do have to use tone commands to retrieve your
messages or data, and these commands might include tone sequences
identical to the FAX or MODEM Access Code (factory-preset to [1] [1]
and [2] [2] respectively), then do this: After the ASD-4 has answered the
call, but before your TAD or voice-mail system answers, press the [*] key
on your tone phone between ring signals. The [*] key disables all tone-
initiated transferring to the FAX or MODEM port during that call only.
3. When your TAD or voice-mail system answers, follow its remote-retrieval
procedures (see its manual for more information).
4. After retrieving your messages, hang up. (If you've issued the [*]
command, the ASD-4 will reset itself for the next call.)

LACING AN
Unless another port or extension is in use, you can place an outbound call
normally from any port or extension at any time. You can tell if another port
or extension is in use by listening when you pick up your phone or when your
calling device goes off-hook: If you hear a dial tone, the line is clear; if you
hear a busy tone, it isn't.
Some exceptions to this rule occur because the PHONE and TAD ports
do not exclude each other. For example, if you pick up a phone on the
PHONE port, and a call is in progress on a TAD or phone on the TAD
port, you will hear that call. Also, remember that when exclusion is
maintained in a multiple-phone system, all extension phones are tied into
the PHONE port together. This means that if you pick up one of the
extension phones and a call is in progress on another extension or on a
phone or TAD on the ASD-4's TAD port, you will, again, hear that call.
