REMOTE OPERATION
USING THE TOLL-SAVER
When you call the TAD with the ring
type set to toll-saver, it answers after
about two rings if you have new mes-
sages (ones you have not played). If
there are no new messages, the TAD
waits for about four rings before it an-
swers. This gives you time to hang up
before the TAD answers so you can
avoid unnecessary long-distance
charges. See “Setting the Number of
Rings” on Page 22.
ACCESSING THE TAD BY
REMOTE
While you are away from the phone
base, you can use the cordless handset
or a touch-tone phone or a pulse (rotary)
phone with a pocket tone dialer to enter
your security code and do any of the fol-
lowing:
• Set the TAD to answer calls
• Listen to your messages
• Turn on mailboxes
• Record a new announcement
• Record a memo
• Erase messages
• Turn the TAD off
From the Cordless Handset
1. Pick up the handset and press
TALK to get a dial tone.
Note: If the phone is set to PULSE ,
press TONE to temporarily
change to touch-tone dialing.
2. Press TONE followed by the #
key within 10 seconds.
The TAD plays a series of voice
prompts to guide you through the
remote operation features. (See
“Using Remote Commands” on
Page 30.)
From Another Phone Line
Note: You cannot access the TAD from
another telephone on the same line as
your TAD-1010.
1. Dial your phone number and wait
for the TAD to answer. If the TAD is
OFF when you call, let the phone
ring 10 times. The TAD automati-
cally turns itself on and answers
your call.
2. When the outgoing announcement
begins, press and enter the 2-
digit remote operation security
code. The announcement stops,
and the TAD plays a series of voice
prompts to guide you through
remote operation features. (See
“Using Remote Commands” on
Page 30.)
