TELEPHONE ANSWERING DEVICE (TAD) COMPATIBILITY
The 1800 can be used on the same telephone line as a telephone
answering device, such as an answering machine, fax machine, or
modem. This feature allows you to call in to 1800 and bypass the
answering device.
To use TAD:
1. Program 1800’s Rings Until Answer to a greater number than
the rings until answer for your answering device. For example,
1800 RINGS = 5, device rings = 3.
2. Press the SENSOR ON/OFF key.
3. Press the TAD key.
The 1800 will say “On.” (If 1800 says “Off ” repeat steps 2 and 3.)
4. Once TAD is on, allow the phone to ring once when you call the
unit and then hang up. 1800 recognizes that a call was made and
activates a 30 second internal timer. This allows you 30 seconds
to call the 1800 back.
5. Call back within 30 seconds. 1800 will override the answering
device on this incoming call and answer the phone on the first
ring. 1800 resets the TAD timer after one incoming call is
received. If you want to call the unit again, you must repeat
steps 4 and 5.
