REMOTE OPERATION
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 (available through your local
RadioShack store) to enter your PIN and
do any of the following:
• Set the TAD to answer or not
answer calls.
• Listen to your messages.
• Record a new outgoing message.
• Record a memo.
• Erase messages.
Note: You cannot remotely operate the
TAD-729 using its handset or another
telephone on the same line as the TAD.
USING THE TOLL-SAVER
If RING TIME is set to T/S (toll-saver),
(see “Setting the Number of Rings” on
Page 13), the TAD-729 answers after
three rings if you have new messages
(ones you have not listened to). If there
are no new messages, the TAD answers
after five rings. This gives you time to
hang up before the TAD answers so you
can avoid unnecessary long-distance
charges.
USING REMOTE
COMMANDS
Follow these steps to operate the TAD
from a remote location.
Note: If you wait more than 15 seconds
between each keypress, the TAD
sounds a long beep and hangs up.
1. Dial your phone number and wait for
the TAD to answer. If the TAD is not
set to answer calls, it will answer
after about 10 rings and sound a
series of beeps.
2. When the outgoing message begins
(or the TAD sounds a series of
beeps), press
# , then enter your PIN
within 2 seconds.
3. If the PIN is correct, the TAD
announces the day and time, then it
announces the number of new and
old messages. The TAD plays all
new messages then beeps about
once every two seconds to let you
know it is ready to accept remote
commands.
Notes:
• If the TAD does not respond, try
entering your PIN again. If you enter
an incorrect PIN three times, the
TAD beeps and hangs up.
• When the TAD is in remote opera-
tion, it stops all answering functions
and the display on the base shows
rC . The TAD resumes answering
functions when it is no longer in
remote command if you have not
turned it off.
• When using remote operation, you
can only delete the current message
during playback. You cannot delete
all the messages stored at one time.
