your messages.
No messages appear on the
message counter.
This could be caused by a power failure. Reset the
TAD by removing the AC adapter and the battery
from the TAD, then reconnect the adapter and
reinstall the battery.
The TAD does not respond
to the remote operation
security code.
Make sure the phone you used to dial the TAD is a
touch-tone phone. (If it is not, you can use a
pocket tone dialer to enter the code and com-
mands.)
Make sure the remote operation security code you
entered is correct. Try entering the default code of
799. The TAD may have reset to the default code
because of a power failure.
Re-enter your security code, pressing each button
for 2 seconds.
