REMOTE ANSWER-ON
If the TAD is connected to AC power,
you can use any remote phone to turn
the TAD on and set it to answer calls
and record messages.
To remotely set the TAD to answer
calls, dial your phone number and wait
about 12 rings until the TAD answers.
Then hang up the phone or proceed
with remote operation beginning with
Step 2 under “Using Remote Control
Commands.”
After you hang up, the TAD answers
calls and records incoming messages.
Note:
When the TAD is set for an-
nouncement-only, the TAD answers
calls but does not record messages.
USING REMOTE
COMMANDS
Follow these steps to operate the TAD
from a remote touch-tone phone.
1. Dial your phone number.
2. When the outgoing announce-
ment begins, press . The
announcement stops.
3. Enter the 3-digit remote operation
security code. The TAD sounds
three long beeps then announces
“Press one to play back memos.
Press two to play back messages.
Press three to monitor the room.
Press four to record a new outgo-
ing message. Press six to skip
back one message. Press seven
to repeat the message. Press
eight to erase messages. Press
nine to skip the message. Press
star ( ) to stop playback or
record.”
Note:
If no beeps sound, re-enter
the code. If you enter the correct
code, but the TAD does not
accept it, the code might have
reset to the default (028) because
of low battery power. Try entering
028 as the security code. If this
works, replace the TAD’s backup
battery and reset the remote oper-
ation security code as soon as
you return to the TAD’s location
(see “Setting the Day and Time”
and “Setting the Remote Opera-
tion Security Code”).
