After 5 seconds, the TAD-716 sounds a single long
beep. You can leave a remote memo (up to 1 minute)
or enter your three-digit security code to replay the
incoming messages again.

3. To end playback, simply hang up. All messages are

automatically saved and the TAD-716 resets itself to
answer the next incoming call.

Note: You cannot use this feature when calling in from a
rotary or push-button pulse dial phone without a pocket
tone dialer. Also, some touch-tone phones only output
tones for a fraction of a second. If you have difficulty with
remote operation, try another phone, or use a pocket
tone dialer.

REMOTE MESSAGE ERASE

After playing all messages, the TAD-716 sounds a series
of beeps.

Enter your three-digit security code within 5 seconds after
the beeps. After 2 short beeps sound, hang up. All mes-
sages are automatically erased and the TAD-716 resets
itself to answer the next incoming call.
