TAD (Telephone Answering Device)
The TAD feature is especially useful because it integrates the
operation of the Boat Remote with your telephone answering device,
i.e. answering machine, in a way that retains the full flexibility of each
system. This allows you to have on-demand telephone access to
your Boat Remote, for obtaining a Status Report, while your tele-
phone answering device is set to receive outside calls. Programming
Boat Remote for use with a telephone answering device (TAD) is
always used in conjunction with Rings Until Answer.
*The TAD feature only applies to answering devices connected to the
same telephone line as the Boat Remote.
