USING REMOTE
COMMANDS
Note: The TAD automatically resets to
answer calls after remote operation,
but does not automatically delete mes-
sages you played by remote.
Follow these steps to operate the TAD
from a remote touch-tone phone.
1. Dial your phone number.
2. When the outgoing announce-
ment begins, press
*
. The
announcement stops, and the
TAD beeps.
3. Press
*
again and enter the 2-digit
remote operation security code.
(See “List of Remote Com-
mands.”) The TAD beeps and
announces “Press one to play
back memos. Press two to play
back messages. Press three to
erase a message. Press four to
record a new OGM. Press five to
monitor the room. Press six to
skip back one message. Press
seven to skip the message. Press
eight to repeat the message.
Press nine to record a new
memo.”
Note: If no beeps sound, re-enter
the code. If you enter the correct
code, but the TAD does not
accept it, the code might have
reset to the default (00) because
of a power failure. Try entering 00
as the security code. If this works,
replace the TAD’s backup battery
and reset the remote operation
security code (see “Setting the
Day and Time” and “Setting the
Remote Operation Security
Code”).
4. Enter your selection.
Notes:
• If you do not press a button
within 7 seconds, the TAD
hangs up.
• If your telephone line has CPC
service and you hang up while
the TAD is playing back the
messages, it stops playback
immediately and resets to
answer the next call.
• If you do not have CPC service
and you hang up while the TAD
is playing back the messages,
the TAD might not recognize
that you hung up. If someone
calls while the TAD continues to
play the messages, the caller
hears a busy signal. We recom-
mend that you play all the mes-
sages or skip forward through
the messages using remote
commands until the TAD beeps
twice before you hang up. This
is to ensure you hear all your
messages.
5. After all the messages play, the
TAD beeps twice and repeats the
list of remote commands. Enter a
new command or hang up the
phone.
