REMOTE OPERATION
While you are away from your home or
office, you can use a touch-tone phone
or a pulse (rotary) phone with a pocket
tone dialer (available at your local Ra-
dioShack store) to enter your remote
operation security code and do any of
the following:
• set the TAD to answer or not
answer calls
• listen to your messages
• record a new announcement
• delete messages
• monitor the room where the TAD is
located
Note
: You cannot remotely operate the
TAD from another phone on the same
line as your TAD-799.
USING TOLL-SAVER
If the ring select switch is set to
TS
(toll-
saver, see “Setting the Number of
Rings” on Page 11), the TAD answers
after two rings if you have new messag-
es. If there are no new messages, the
TAD waits for four rings before answer-
ing. This gives you time to hang up be-
fore the TAD answers so you can avoid
unnecessary long-distance charges.
CHANGING THE REMOTE
OPERATION SECURITY
CODE
The TAD-799’s remote operation secu-
rity code is preset to 799. Follow these
steps to change the code.
Notes
:
• Be sure to set each digit within 8
seconds. Otherwise, you must start
over from Step 1.
• We recommend you not use three
identical digits (such as 999) for the
security code. Such numbers are
too easy for others to guess.
• If AC power fails or if the backup
battery becomes weak, the remote
operation security code automati-
cally resets to 799.
1. Hold down
CODE
for about 2 sec-
onds. The TAD beeps and the first
digit of the preset code flashes.
