REMOTE TAD 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 to enter your re-
mote operation security code and do
any of the following:
• Set the TAD to answer calls
• Listen to your messages
• Record a new announcement
• Delete messages
• Monitor the room where the TAD
is located
USING THE TOLL-SAVER
If the TAD is set to answer in three
rings or more and there are new mes-
sages (ones you have not played), the
TAD answers two rings sooner than
you set. For example, if you set it to
answer in five rings and there are new
messages, it will answer after three
rings.
If there are no new messages (or if
you set the TAD to answer in two rings
or less), it answers according to the
number of rings you set. This gives
you time to hang up before the TAD
answers and avoid unnecessary long-
distance charges.
To use the toll-saver, be sure the TAD
is set to answer in three rings or more
(see “Setting the Number of Rings” on
Page 17).
CHANGING THE
REMOTE CODE
To use your TAD-1006 from a remote
telephone, you must first enter a 3-
digit remote operation security code.
The security code for your TAD-1006
is preset to 028.
You can either use the preset code, or
follow these steps to change it while
you are at the TAD.
Notes:
• If you forget your remote code
after setting it, follow these steps
again to set a new code.
• In Steps 2 and 3, you must enter
your selection within 7 seconds.
Otherwise, the TAD beeps three
times then exits the programming
mode. If this happens, start over
again at Step 1.
1. Press DELETE/PROG . The TAD
beeps once.
2. Press 2/REMOTE. The TAD beeps
once.
