REMOTE OPERATION
SECURITY CODE
To use your TAD-724 from a remote
telephone, you must first enter a 3-digit
remote operation security code. The
security code for your TAD is preset to
500. You can use the preset code, or
follow these steps to change it.
Notes
:
In Steps 2 and 3, you must enter
your selection within 10 seconds.
Otherwise, the TAD beeps once
and exits the setup. If this hap-
pens, start again at Step 1.
If AC power fails and the backup
batteries become weak, the
remote operation security code
automatically resets to 500.
1. Hold down
CODE/STOP
for about
2 seconds. The display shows the
first digit and the TAD announces,
“First digit”.
2. Repeatedly press
SKIP
or
REPEAT
until the desired digit appears.
3. Press
CODE/STOP
to store the
digit. When you store the first
digit, the display shows the sec-
ond digit and the TAD announces,
“Second digit.”
4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 to change
the second and third digit.
5. After you change the third digit,
the TAD announces your security
code by saying, “Code is ---.”
Note:
You can check your security
code by pressing
CODE/STOP
.
OPERATING THE TAD

remote operation security code.
