4 .8 TAD (Telephone Answering Device)
The TAD feature is especially useful because it integrates the
operation of the Model 800 with your telephone answering
device (e.g. answering machine) in a way that retains the full
flexibility of each system. This allows you to have on-demand
telephone access to the Model 800, for obtaining a Status Report,
or for issuing call-in commands, while your telephone answering
device is set to receive outside calls. Programming for use with a
telephone answering device (TAD) is always used in conjunction
with Rings Until Answer, detailed in section 4.6.
NOTE
The TAD feature only applies to answering devices
connected to the same telephone line as the Model
800.

The Model 800 will respond: “TAD On.” (If the Model 800 says
“TAD Off,” repeat steps 1 and 2 to reactivate TAD.)
4 .8 .2 Using the TAD Feature
1. Make sure the TAD feature is enabled on the Model 800. (The
default setting is disabled, so you must enable it first.)
2. Determine the number of rings your telephone answering
device uses to answer the telephone. (Most answering devices
require 4 rings; others are selectable.)
3. On the Model 800, program Rings Until Answer to a greater
number than the number of rings set on your answering
machine.
