To check your PIN at any time, press

PIN

. The PIN appears in the message

counter window, and the TAD announc-
es it.

Note: If you press 

SPEAKER

 or 

PLAY/

STOP

 while changing the PIN, the TAD

exits. Begin again with Step 1.

REMOTE OPERATION

While you are away from your home or
office, you can use a touch-tone phone,
or a pulse (rotary) phone with a pocket
tone dialer (available through your local
RadioShack store) to enter your PIN and
do any of the following:

• Set the TAD to answer or not

answer calls.

• Listen to your messages.

• Record a new outgoing message.

• Record a memo.

• Delete messages.

• Monitor the room where the TAD is

located.

Note: You cannot remotely operate the
TAD-734 using its handset or another
telephone on the same line as the TAD.

USING THE TOLL-SAVER

If 

RING

 

TIME

 is set to 

T/S

 (toll-saver),

(see “Setting the Number of Rings” on
Page 12), the TAD-734 answers after
three rings if you have new messages
(ones you have not listened to). If there

are no new messages, the TAD answers
after five rings. This gives you time to
hang up before the TAD answers so you
can avoid unnecessary long-distance
charges.

USING REMOTE 
COMMANDS

Follow these steps to operate the TAD
from a remote location.

Note: If you wait more than 15 seconds
between each keypress, the TAD
sounds a long beep and hangs up.

1. Dial your phone number and wait for

the TAD to answer.

If the TAD is not set to answer calls,
it will answer after about 10 rings
and sound a series of beeps.

2. When the outgoing message begins

(or the TAD sounds a series of
beeps), press 

#

, then enter your PIN

within 2 seconds.

If the PIN is correct, the TAD
announces the day and time, then it
announces the number of new and
old messages. The TAD plays all
new messages then beeps about
once every two seconds to let you
know it is ready to accept remote
commands.

Notes:

• If the TAD does not respond, try

entering your PIN again. If you
enter an incorrect PIN three
times, the TAD beeps and hangs
up.
