REMOTE OPERATION
USING THE TOLL-SAVER
When you call the TAD with
RING SE-
LECT
set to
TS
(toll-saver), it answers
after about two rings if you have new
messages (ones you have not listened
to). If there are no new messages, the
TAD waits for about five rings before it
answers. This gives you time to hang
up before the TAD answers so you
can avoid long-distance charges.
SETTING THE REMOTE
OPERATION PIN
The remote operation PIN (personal
identification number) permits remote
access to the TAD. The PIN can be
any number from 00 to 99. The default
setting is 00, but you can change it by
following these steps.
1. Press
FLASH/REMOTE
on the
handset so the TALK/BATT LOW
indicator lights green.
2. Press
PIN/
on the keypad, then
enter your two-digit PIN.
3. Press
PIN/
on the keypad again.
A long beep sounds and your PIN
is stored.
Note: If you make an error, the
TAD beeps 5 times. Repeat Steps
2 and 3 to enter the number cor-
rectly.
4. Press
FLASH/REMOTE
so the
TALK/BATT LOW indicator turns
off.
ACCESSING THE TAD BY
REMOTE
While you are away from the phone’s
base, you can use a touch-tone phone,
or a pulse (rotary) phone with a pocket
tone dialer, to enter your PIN and do
any of the following:
• Set the TAD to answer calls
• Listen to your messages
• Record a new announcement
• Record a memo
• Erase messages
• Turn the TAD off
Note: You cannot access the TAD
from another telephone on the same
line as your TAD-1017.
1. Dial your phone number and wait
for the TAD to answer.
If the TAD is not set to answer
calls, let the phone ring 10 times.
The TAD automatically turns itself
on to answer your call and sounds
a series of beeps then turns off
when you hang up (unless you set
the TAD to answer calls).
