Example:
Telephone answering device, rings = 4
Model 800, Rings Until Answer = 6
Using the procedure just outlined, all incoming calls will be
answered by the telephone answering device, allowing it to
operate normally. With the programming just accomplished, the
Model 800 can be accessed remotely, by telephone, to obtain the
Status Report.
1. Dial the telephone number of the Model 800.
2. Let the telephone ring once and then hang up.
3. Wait approximately ten seconds
4. Call the Model 800 back.
It will answer the telephone on the first ring.
Explanation: The pattern of one ring, followed by a second
call (within 30 seconds), signals the Model 800 to answer your
incoming call, bypassing the telephone answering device.
NOTE
Special Case: If the Model 800 shares the same line
with a telephone answering device, and during certain
time periods, frequent, incoming calls are expected
on that line, then you may want to temporarily dis-
able the TAD feature. If you leave the TAD enabled,
it will not adversely affect normal operation, but if
two outside telephone calls are received within the
same 30-second time window, the Model 800 will
interpret this pattern as a signal to answer the tele-
phone. If this occurs, press any key on the Model 800
to hang up.
4 .8 .3 No TAD In Use
If a telephone answering device is not used on the same telephone
line as the Model 800, make sure that the TAD feature is
disabled, or turned off. Only Rings Until Answer programming
will determine how incoming calls are answered. For example,
if you program Rings Until Answer to 3, incoming calls will be
answered in 3 rings.
