TAD-1005 Multi-User Digital Telephone Answering System (430-0745) Remote Operation Faxback Doc. # 18428 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 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 messages Monitor the room where the TAD is located USING THE TOLL SAVER When you call the TAD, it is preset to answer after about two rings if you have new messages (ones you have not played). If there are no new messages, the TAD is preset to wait for about four rings before it answers. This gives you time to hang up before the TAD answers and avoid unnecessary long-distance charges. See "Setting the Number of Rings." SETTING THE REMOTE OPERATION SECURITY CODE The TAD's preset remote operation security code is 00. Follow these steps if you want to set a different code. 1. Press PGM/DEL. The answer indicator flashes. Press REMOTE. 2. Within 30 seconds, enter your 2-digit remote operation security code. The TAD beeps twice. REMOTE ANSWER-ON You can use any remote phone to set the TAD to answer calls and record messages. But, the TAD must be plugged into AC power. NOTE: When the TAD is set for announcement-only, you cannot set the TAD to record calls using this procedure. To remotely set the TAD to answer calls, dial your phone number and wait about 12-14 rings until the TAD answers. Then hang up the phone or proceed with remote operation beginning with Step 2 under "Using Remote Control Commands." After you hang up, the TAD answers calls and records incoming messages. USING REMOTE COMMANDS NOTE: The TAD automatically resets to answer calls after remote operation. Once you have played a message by remote, it will be deleted when the next incoming call is answered. You cannot save messages by remote. 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, and the TAD beeps. 3. Press * again and enter the 2-digit remote operation security code. The TAD beeps twice and announces "Press one to play back memo. Press two to play back messages. Press three to erase messages. 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. 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 recommend that you play all the messages 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.
