Answering System Operation
Using Remote Commands
Follow these steps to operate the TAD from
a remote location.
Note:
If you wait more than 15 seconds be-
tween key presses, the TAD sounds a long
beep and hangs up.
1. Dial your phone number and wait for the
TAD to answer. If the TAD is not set to
answer calls, it will answer after about
10 rings and sound a series of beeps.

press

two. For help, press pound zero.”

The TAD beeps about every 2
seconds, prompting you to enter remote
commands. This is the command
prompt.
If the TAD does not respond, try entering
your code again. If you enter an incor-
rect code three times, the TAD beeps
and hangs up.
