REMOTE ANSWER-ON
You can use any remote phone to set the TAD to answer calls, even if
STOP/ON is set to STOP. The TAD must be plugged into AC power, and the
outgoing message tape must be installed for remote answer-on to operate.
To remotely set the TAD to answer calls, dial your phone number and wait
about 12-14 rings until the TAD answers. Once the TAD answers, it is set
the answer mode. Hang up the phone or proceed with remote operation be-
ginning with Step 2 under "Using Remote Control Commands."
After you hang up, the TAD answers calls and records incoming messages,
if the incoming message tape is installed.
USING REMOTE CONTROL COMMANDS
NOTE: The TAD automatically resets to answer calls after remote
operation.
To Operate the TAD from a remote touch-tone phone follow these steps.
1. Dial your phone number.
2. When the outgoing announcement begins, press 2 to bypass the
outgoing announcement. The announcement stops, and the TAD
beeps.
3. Enter the 3-digit remote operation security code shown on the bottom
of the TAD within 7 seconds. Be sure to press each button at least
1/2 second.

hangs up.
4. For a few seconds, you hear the sound of the tape rewinding. Then
the TAD plays back the incoming messages.
At the end of each message, the TAD announces the day and time it
was recorded. After all the Messages play, the TAD beeps twice.
Enter a remote control command or hand up the phone.
NOTES: 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 at the end of new
messages 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 fast-forward the tape using remote control
commands until the TAD beeps twice before you hang up.
This is to ensure you hear all your messages.
