TELEPHONE ANSWERING DEVICE (TAD) COMPATIBILITY
The 1400 can be used on the same telephone line as a telephone
answering device, such as an answering machine, fax machine, or
modem. This feature allows you to call in to the 1400 and bypass
the answering device. Default setting is Off [disabled].
To use TAD:
1. Program the 1400’s Rings Until Answer to a greater number
than the rings until answer for your answering device. For
example, 1400 RINGS = 5, device rings = 3.
2. Press the SENSOR ON/OFF key.
3. Press the TAD key.
The 1400 will say “TAD On.” (If the 1400 says “TAD Off ” repeat
steps 2 and 3.)
4. Once TAD is on, allow the phone to ring once when you call
the unit and then hang up. The 1400 recognizes that a call was
made and activates a 30 second internal timer. This allows you
30 seconds to call the 1400 back.
5. Call back within 30 seconds. The 1400 will override the
answering device on this incoming call and answer the phone
on the first ring. The 1400 resets the TAD timer after one
incoming call is received. If you want to call the unit again, you
must repeat steps 4 and 5.
