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 to enter your remote opera-
tion security code and do any of the fol-
lowing:
• set the TAD to or not answer calls
• listen to your messages
• record a new outgoing message
• delete messages
Note: You cannot remotely operate the
TAD from another phone on the same
line as your TAD-779.
USING THE TOLL-SAVER
If the ring select switch is set to TS (toll-
saver) (see “Setting the Number of
Rings” on Page 9), 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
remotely.
1. Dial your phone number.
Note: Even if the TAD is not set to
answer calls, it will answer after
about 10 rings.
2. When the TAD answers, enter your
remote operation security code. The
TAD beeps to confirm that you
entered the correct code.
Note: If you do not enter each digit
of the security code within 8 sec-
onds of the last, the TAD hangs up.
3. Enter the remote command. See
“Remote Commands” on Page14.
4. You can hang up at this point or
enter other remote commands.
