REMOTE OPERATION
while you are away from your home or office, you can access the TAD using
a touch-tone phone or a rotary phone with a pocket tone dialer (such as
Radio Shack Cat. No. 43-141).
You must set your remote operation security code before you can perform
any remote operations. This prevents unauthorized access to your incoming
messages.
You can use any combination of four digits as your security code. However,
you should avoid obvious choices (such as 1234) that others can easily
guess.
STORING YOUR REMOTE OPERATION SECURITY CODE
NOTES: You cannot store the remote operation security code from a remote
location.
You cannot store the remote operation security code until you have
listened to all new messages.
1. If the TALK indicator is on, press TALK on the handset to turn it off.
Then, if the ANSWER or ANN ONLY indicator is on, press ERASE/STOP on
the base to turn it off.
2. Press * then MEMORY. The HOLD/INT indicator flashes and a beep sounds.
3. Press *.

To delete the remote operation security code, repeat all steps

REMOTE ANSWER ON
The TAD's remote answer on feature lets you call your TAD from another
phone and set the TAD to answer calls. The remote answer on feature is
set to on at the factory.
Follow these steps to use the remote answer on feature.
1. Dial your phone number. If you did not set your TAD to answer calls,
the phone rings for about 60 seconds, then the TAD plays your outgoing
message.
NOTE: If the message tape is full, the TAD will answer the call and
sound 8 beeps. When the beeps stop, enter your remote operation
security code within 7 seconds.
2. While your outgoing message is playing, enter your four-digits remote
operation security code. The TAD sounds a command prompt.
NOTE: If you do not enter your remote operation security code before
the outgoing message finishes playing, the TAD sounds a beep,
records an incoming message, then hangs up.
3. After the TAD sounds the command prompt, press *, then 8 to set the TAD
to answer calls and record messages. Or, press *. then 9 to set the TAD
to the announce-only mode.
NOTE: After the TAD sounds a command prompt, you can enter other
commands to control the TAD. See "Using Remote Control
Commands".
To turn off the remote answer on feature so no one can accidentally access
the TAD, follow these steps:
1. Press *. then MEMORY.
2. Press 1, #, then MEMORY.
To turn the remote answer on feature back on, repeat this procedure, but
press * instead of # in Step 2.
ACCESSING THE TAD BY REMOTE
To access the TAD by remote, you must set it to answer calls, or you must
turn it on remotely (see "Remote Answer On" on Page 36 and/or above).
1. Dial your phone number. The TAD answers your call and you hear your
outgoing announcement.
NOTE: If you set the toll saver, the TAD waits four rings before
answering if it has no new messages. It answers on the second
ring if it has received at least one new message.
2. When your outgoing announcement finishes and the TAD beeps, enter
four-digit remote operation security code. The TAD sounds a beep and
plays back any new messages. Then the TAD sounds a command prompt.
3. Hang up the phone, or enter a remote control command.
USING REMOTE CONTROL COMMANDS
The following chart shows the touch-tone keys you press to control your
TAD's remote functions.
NOTE: After the command prompt, you have about 30 seconds to enter the
next remote control command. If you wait longer than 30 seconds,
the TAD hangs up and resets to answer calls.
