TAD-1009 Digital Telephone Answering System (430-0781) Operation, Remote Faxback Doc. # 34134 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 to enter your remote operation security code and do any of the following: Set the TAD to answer calls Listen to your messages Record a new announcement Record a memo Delete individual messages Monitor the room where the TAD is located USING THE TOLL SAVER If the TAD is set to answer in three rings or more and there are new messages (ones you have not played), the TAD answers two rings sooner than you set. For example, if you set it to answer in five rings and there are new messages, it will answer after three rings. If there are no new messages (or you set the TAD to answer in two rings or less), it answers according to the number of rings you set. This gives you time to hang up before the TAD answers and avoid unnecessary long-distance charges. To use the toll-saver, be sure the TAD is set to answer in three rings or more. CHANGING THE REMOTE CODE To use your TAD from a remote telephone, you must first enter a 3-digit remote operation security code. The security code for your TAD is preset to 028. You can either use the preset code, or follow these steps to change it. NOTE: In Steps 2 and 3, you must enter your selection within 7 seconds. Otherwise, the TAD beeps three times then exits the programming mode. If this happens, start over again at Step 1. 1. Press PGM/DEL. The TAD beeps once. 2. Press 2/REMOTE. The TAD beeps once. 3. Enter the new remote operation security code. The TAD beeps once after you press each button, then it beeps twice to indicate the new code has been stored in memory. REMOTE ANSWER-ON If the TAD is connected to AC power, you can use any remote phone to turn the TAD on and set it to answer calls and record messages. To remotely set the TAD to answer calls, dial your phone number and wait about 12 rings until the TAD answers. Then hang up the phone or proceed with remote operation beginning with Step 2 under "Using Remote Control Commands", below. After you hang up, the TAD answers calls and records incoming messages. NOTE: When the TAD is set for announcement-only, the TAD answers calls but does not record messages. USING REMOTE COMMANDS Follow these steps to operate the TAD from a remote touch-tone phone. 1. Dial your phone number. 2. When the outgoing announcement begins, press *. The announcement stops. 3. Enter the 3-digit remote operation security code. The TAD sounds three long beeps then announces "Press one to play back memos. Press two to play back messages. Press three to monitor the room. Press four to record a new outgoing message. Press six to skip back one message. Press seven to repeat the message. Press eight to erase messages. Press nine to skip the message. Press star (*) to stop playback or record." 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 (028) because of low battery power. Try entering 028 as the security code. If this works, replace the TAD's back- up battery and reset the remote operation security code as soon as you return to the TAD's location (see "Setting the Day and Time" and "Setting the Remote Operation Security Code" on Fax- back Doc. # 34682). 4. Within 7 seconds, enter your selection (see "List of Remote Commands", below). NOTES: If you do not press a button within 7 seconds, the TAD hangs up. To delete a message the first time you hear it, you must press 8 immediately after the caller's message ends but before the TAD beeps to start the next message or function. However, if you are repeating a message, you can press 8 at any time before the message ends. After you enter a remote command, the TAD is preset to beep twice after about 160 seconds, then automatically hang up after about 180 seconds if you do not enter another command. If you are listening to your messages and the TAD-1009 beeps twice to warn you that it is about to hang up, you can press 7 to repeat the current message and reset the TAD-1009's time cycle. If your telephone line has CPC service and you hang up while the TAD is playing back the messages, it stops playback immediately and re- sets 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 recommend that you play all the messages or skip forward through the messages using remote commands until the TAD beeps once before you hang up. This is to ensure you hear all your messages. 5. After completing the selected function, the TAD beeps once then plays the next recorded message (if you are playing back messages) or begins re-announcing the list of selections. Enter a new command or hang up the phone. List of Remote Commands Use these keys on a touch-tone phone or pocket tone dialer to operate the TAD when you are away from your home or office.
