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
operation 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-799.

USING TOLL-SAVER

If the ring select switch is set to

TS

(toll-

saver, see “Setting the Number of
Rings” on Page 11), the TAD answers
after two rings if you have new messag-
es. If there are no new messages, the
TAD waits for four rings before answer-
ing. This gives you time to hang up be-
fore the TAD answers so you can avoid
unnecessary long-distance charges.

CHANGING THE REMOTE
OPERATION SECURITY
CODE

The TAD-799’s remote operation secu-
rity code is preset to 799. Follow these
steps to change the code.

Notes:

• Be sure to set each digit within 8

seconds. Otherwise, you must start
over from Step 1.

• We recommend you not use three

identical digits (such as 999) for the
security code. Such numbers are
too easy for others to guess.

• If AC power fails or if the backup

battery becomes weak, the remote
operation security code automati-
cally resets to 799.

1. Hold down

CODE

for about 2 sec-

onds. The TAD beeps and the first
digit of the preset code flashes.
