• When you hang up, the TAD auto-

matically stops recording. When
you put a caller on hold, the TAD
interrupts recording until you
return to the caller.

AUTO CALL

The auto call function sets the TAD to
call your pocket pager or a designated
telephone number each time it re-
ceives a message. 

When the TAD calls a telephone (not a
pager) number and you pick up the
phone, the TAD beeps for 45 seconds.
While it beeps, you can enter your re-
mote operation security code and op-
erate the TAD remotely (see “Remote
Operation” on Page 36).

When the TAD calls a pager number,
some pagers display the phone’s num-
ber (your pager might not display the
phone’s number). You can then call
the TAD, enter your remote operation
security code and operate the TAD re-
motely (see “Remote Operation”  on
Page 36). 

You can choose the number of auto
call attempts (1-9) the TAD makes to
your pager or designated telephone.
The TAD calls the pager or phone for
the selected number of times in 15-
minute intervals until you answer or
until you retrieve the message.

The auto call function is set to 

off 

at the

factory. Before you turn on the auto
call function, you must store the re-
mote operation security code (see
“Storing Your Remote Operation Se-
curity Code’’  on Page 36) and the
phone number or pager number as de-
scribed in “Storing a Pager or Tele-
phone Number.” 

Storing a Pager or Telephone 
Number

Follow these steps to store the pager
or telephone number the TAD should
call when you turn auto call to on.

Note:  You cannot store a pager or
telephone number if you have new
messages you have not played.
