SETTING THE REMOTE
OPERATION PIN
The TAD-797’s two-digit remote opera-
tion PIN (personal identification number)
prevents unauthorized remote access to
your messages. The PIN is preset to 80.
Follow these steps to change the PIN to
any number from 00 to 99.
Note: If you wait more than 15 seconds
between each keypress, the TAD exits
the PIN setting process. Start again at
Step 1.
1. Hold down PIN until the TAD beeps
and 00 appears in the message
counter window.
2. Press SKIP to set the first digit of the
PIN higher or REPEAT to set it lower.
Then press PIN .
3. Press SKIP or REPEAT to set the
second digit of the PIN, then press
PIN . The TAD announces the new
PIN.
To check your PIN at any time, press
PIN . The PIN appears in the message
counter window, and the TAD announc-
es it.
Note: If the TAD loses power for longer
than about one hour, the PIN resets to
80.
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 through your local
RadioShack store) to enter your PIN and
do any of the following:
• set the TAD to answer or not answer
calls
• listen to your messages
• record a new outgoing message
• record a memo
• erase messages
Note: You cannot remotely operate the
TAD-797 using its handset or another
telephone on the same line as the TAD.
USING TOLL-SAVER
If RING TIME is set to T/S (toll-saver, see
“Setting the Number of Rings” on
Page 14), the TAD-797 answers after
about three rings if you have new mes-
sages (ones you have not listened to). If
there are no new messages, the TAD
answers after about five rings. This
gives you time to hang up before the
TAD answers so you can avoid unnec-
essary long-distance charges.
