Radio Shack TAD-1004 - Manual (Page 20)

REMOTE OPERATION
You can operate the TAD from almost
any touch-tone phone, or from a rotary
phone using a pocket tone-dialer (avail-
able at your local Radio Shack store).
The TAD’s remote operation security
code is preset to 744. You can operate
your TAD remotely with this code; how-
ever, we recommend that you set your
own code. (See “Changing the Remote
Operation Security Code.”)
Notes:
• When the memory is full, the TAD
answers the call after two rings and
announces, “Memory is full.”
• To bypass the outgoing message
and begin recording a message
immediately when you call the TAD
from a remote phone, you can
press * when the announcement
begins. The TAD skips the rest of
the announcement, beeps once,
and begins recording.
• If there are new messages, the
TAD answers after about two rings.
Otherwise, the TAD answers after
four rings. This lets you avoid
unnecessary charges when calling
by long-distance to check your
messages. If you hear more than
two rings, the TAD has no new
messages. Hang up so you will not
be charged for the call.
CHANGING THE REMOTE
OPERATION SECURITY
CODE
Notes:
• Be sure to set each digit within 8
seconds. Otherwise, you must start
over from Step 1.
• Do not use three identical digits
(such as 999) for the security code.
Numbers like this are too easy for
others to guess!
• If the AC power fails and the
backup battery becomes weak, the
remote operation security code
automatically resets to 744.
1. Press and hold REPEAT/CODE for
about 2 seconds. The TAD beeps,
and the first digit of the preset code
flashes on the display.
