TAD OPERATION
You can use the base or the handset
to control the TAD. With the handset
you set the day and time, the remote
operation personal identification num-
ber, record outgoing messages and
memos, turn the TAD on and off, play
messages, and delete messages. At
the base you can set the number of
rings before the TAD answers an in-
coming call, set the kind of outgoing
message played and the incoming
message recording time, 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
incoming calls. However, if you press
TALK on the handset to answer the
call, the handset beeps.
USING THE HANDSET
TO CONTROL THE TAD
You control the TAD with the handset.
Lift the handset and, if the BATT LOW
indicator lights red, press
TALK to turn
it off. Then press REMOTE . The BATT
LOW indicator on the handset lights
green, and three bars flash alternately
on the base’s display.
The TAD tells you the number of mes-
sages you have (if any), then an-
nounces the help messages through
the handset. Then the TAD beeps
when it is ready to accept a command.
Notes:
• You can skip the message count
and the help messages by imme-
diately entering a command.
• If you need help during operation,
press HELP/0 . The TAD an-
nounces the help messages.
When you finish operating the TAD,
press
REMOTE again so you can use
the handset to make and receive calls.
SETTING THE NUMBER
OF RINGS
Set the RING TIME switch on the side
of the base to select how long the
TAD waits before it answers a call
(two rings, five rings, or toll-saver).
Note: If you plan to check your mes-
sages by long distance, set the num-
ber of rings to toll-saver (see “Using
the Toll-Saver” on Page 26).
