REMOTE OPERATION

You can operate the TAD-1027 from al-
most any touch-tone phone, or from a ro-
tary phone using a pocket tone-dialer
(available at your local RadioShack
store).

Notes:

• When the memory is full, the TAD-

1027 answers the call after two
rings and announces, “Memory is
full.” Delete some of the old mes-
sages to make room in memory
(see “Using Remote Commands”).

• If the ring select switch is set to 

TS

(toll saver), the TAD-1027 answers
after two rings if you have new mes-
sages (ones you have not played). If
there are no new messages, the
TAD waits for four rings before it
answers. This gives you time to
hang up before the TAD-1027
answers so you can avoid unneces-
sary long-distance charges.

USING REMOTE 
COMMANDS

Notes:

• The TAD-1027 sounds a 3-tone

beep if you press the wrong button.

• You must record an outgoing mes-

sage before you can remotely set
the TAD-1027 to answer calls. 

1. Dial your phone number. 

• If the TAD-1027 is set to answer-

off and an outgoing message is
recorded, it answers the call after
10 rings and announces, “Answer
off.” 

• If the TAD-1027 is set to answer-

on, it answers according to the
number of rings you set.

2. Within 8 seconds, enter the remote

operation security code. The TAD
beeps.

Note: If you do not enter each digit
of the security code within 8 sec-
onds, the TAD-1027 will disconnect. 

3. Enter the remote command code

(see “Remote Command Codes” on
Page 15).

4. You can hang up at this point or

enter other remote command(s).
