TAD OPERATION
You can use the base or the handset to
control the TAD. With the handset, you set
the remote operation personal identifica-
tion number (PIN), select the outgoing
message,
record outgoing messages,
memos, or telephone conversation, turn
the TAD on and off, play messages, and
delete a current message. At the base,
you can set the day and time, set the num-
ber of rings before the TAD answers an in-
coming call, select the outgoing message,
set incoming message recording time,
record outgoing messages, memos, or
telephone conversation, turn the TAD on
and off, play and delete messages, and
adjust the TAD's volume.
Note: While you are using the base to
control the TAD, you can still answer in-
coming calls with the handset or another
phone on the same telephone line.
