REMOTE OPERATION
USING THE TOLL-SAVER
When you call the TAD-728 and the
number of rings to answer calls is set to
“toll-saver,” it answers after about two
rings if you have new messages (ones
you have not listened to). If there are no
new messages, the TAD waits for about
five rings before it answers. This gives
you time to hang up before the TAD an-
swers so you can avoid long-distance
charges.
SETTING THE REMOTE
OPERATION PIN
The remote operation PIN (personal
identification number) permits remote
access to the TAD. The PIN can be any
number from 00 to 99. The default set-
ting is 99, but you can change it by fol-
lowing these steps.
