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 at your local Ra-
dioShack store) to enter your remote op-
eration security code and do any of the
following:
• set the TAD to answer or not answer
calls
• listen to your messages
• record a new announcement
• delete messages
• monitor the room where the TAD is
located
Note: You cannot remotely operate the
TAD from another phone on the same
line as your TAD-759.
USING TOLL-SAVER
If the ring select switch is set to TS (toll-
saver, see “Setting the Number of
Rings” on Page 10) the TAD answers af-
ter two rings if you have new messages.
If there are no new messages, the TAD
waits for four rings before it answers.
This gives you time to hang up before
the TAD answers so you can avoid un-
necessary long-distance charges.
USING REMOTE
COMMANDS
Follow these steps to operate the TAD
from a touch-tone phone or a pulse (ro-
tary) phone with a pocket tone dialer.
1. Dial your phone number.
2. When the TAD answers, enter your
remote operation security code. The
TAD beeps once to confirm that you
entered the correct code.
Notes:
• If you do not enter each digit of
the security code within 8 sec-
onds, the TAD hangs up.
• Even if the TAD is not set to
answer calls, it will answer after
about 60 seconds.
3. Enter a remote command (see
“Remote Commands” on Page 19).
4. When you finish, simply hang up.
