REMOTE OPERATION
You can operate the TAD from almost
any touch-tone phone, or from a rotary
phone using a pocket tone-dialer (avail-
able at your local RadioShack store).
TOLL-SAVER
If the ring select switch is set to
TS
(toll-
saver), the TAD-798 answers after two
rings if you have new messages. If
there are no new messages, the TAD
answers after four rings. This gives you
time to hang up before the TAD an-
swers so you can avoid unnecessary
long-distance charges. See “Setting the
Number of Rings” on Page 9.
USING REMOTE
COMMANDS
Follow these steps to operate the TAD
from a remote location.
1. Dial your phone number.
Note:
Even if the TAD is not set to
answer calls, it will answer after
about 9 rings.
2. When the TAD answers, enter your
remote operation security code.
The TAD beeps once to confirm that
you entered the correct code.
Note
: If you do not enter each digit
of the security code within 8 sec-
onds of the last, the TAD hangs up.
3. Enter the remote command (see
“Remote Command List” on
Page 18).
4. When you finish, hang up. The TAD
resets to answer calls.
