You cannot record an incoming mes-
sage.

• Be sure the TAD is set to answer

calls.

• Make sure the memory is not full.

The TAD does not respond to the re-
mote 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
commands.)

• Make sure the remote operation

security code you entered is cor-
rect.

There is line interference, or your
touch-tone signals are not long and
clear enough for the TAD to recog-
nize.

• Re-enter your security code and

press each button for 2 seconds.

No messages appear on the display.

• This could be caused by a power

failure. Reset the TAD by removing
the AC adapter and the battery
from the TAD, then reinstalling
them.
