Radio Shack TAD 1130 - Manual (Page 20)

20 TAD Operation
Note: If you press SPEAKER or PLAY/STOP
while changing the PIN, the TAD exits. Begin
again with Step 1.
REMOTE OPERATION
While you are away from your home or of-
fice, you can use a touch-tone phone, or a
pulse (rotary) phone with a pocket tone dialer
(not supplied and available through your lo-
cal 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
using its handset or another telephone on
the same line as the TAD.
USING THE TOLL-SAVER
If RING TIME is set to T/S (toll-saver), (see
“Setting the Number of Rings” on Page 13),
the TAD answers after three rings if you have
new messages (ones you have not listened
to). If there are no new messages, the TAD
answers after five rings. This gives you time
to hang up before the TAD answers so you
can avoid unnecessary long-distance charg-
es.
USING REMOTE
COMMANDS
Follow these steps to operate the TAD from
a remote location.
Note: If you wait more than 15 seconds be-
tween each keypress, the TAD sounds a
long beep and hangs up.
1. Dial your phone number and wait for the
TAD to answer.
2. If the TAD is not set to answer calls, it
will answer after about 10 rings and
sound a series of beeps.
3. When the outgoing message begins (or
the TAD sounds a series of beeps),
press
# , then enter your PIN within 2
seconds.
If the PIN is correct, the TAD announces the
day and time, then it announces the number
of new and old messages. The TAD plays all
new messages then beeps about once every
two seconds to let you know it is ready to ac-
cept remote commands.
Notes:
• If the TAD does not respond, try entering
your pin again. If you enter an incorrect
PIN three times, the TAD beeps and
hangs up.
• When the TAD is in remote operation, it
stops all answering functions and rC
appears on the base’s display. The TAD
resumes answering functions when it is
no longer in the remote command if you
did not turn it off.
• The remote playback of incoming mes-
sages is limited to 4 minutes. If you have
more messages after 4 minutes have
passed, you must press
# 2 again to lis-
ten to the rest of the messages.
• When using remote operation, you can
only delete the current message during
playback. You cannot delete all the mes-
sages stored at one time.
• The maximum length of a memo
recorded by remote operation is 4 min-
utes.
