Remote Operation
n Remote Operation
While you are away from your home or office, you can use a touch-tone phone or a pulse (rotary) phone with a
pocket tone dialer to enter your remote operation security code and do any of the following:
²
set the TAD to answer calls
²
listen to your messages
²
record a new announcement
²
record a memo
²
delete messages
Note: You cannot remotely operate the TAD from another phone on the same line as your SP-515.
You can also use your SP-515 handset to operate many of the TAD features.
USING THE TOLL-SAVER
If the ring select switch is set to
SA
(toll-saver) (see “Setting the Number of Rings” on Page 9), the TAD an-
swers after two rings if you have new messages. If there are no new messages, the TAD waits for four rings
before it answers. This gives you time to hang up before the TAD answers so you can avoid unnecessary long-
distance charges.
USING REMOTE COMMANDS
Whether you are using the handset or calling from a touch-tone phone, you press the same buttons to operate
the TAD. The only difference is the way you connect with the answering system.
From a remote touch-tone phone:
Dial your phone number. When the TAD answers, enter your remote access code. The TAD announces
the number of messages and beeps twice to confirm that you entered the correct code.
Notes:
²
If you do not enter each digit of the remote access code within 8 seconds, the TAD hangs up.
²
If the TAD is not set to answer calls or the memory is full, it will answer after 10 rings.
From the handset:
Press
ANS SYS
. The ANS SYS indicator lights. The TAD announces the number of messages and beeps
twice.
After connecting with the TAD, enter a remote command (see “Remote Commands” on Page 21), or press
5
to
hear voice prompts, or wait until the TAD begins playing all messages (after about 4 seconds).
When you finish, simply hang up (remote phone) or press
ANS
SYS
(SP-515’s handset).
